Simulation of two-flavors symmetry-locking phases in ultracold fermionic mixtures

Quantum Gases 2015-06-02 v2 Superconductivity High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

We describe an ultracold fermionic set-up where it is possible to synthesize a superfluid phase with symmetry obtained by locking independent invariance groups of the normal state. In this phase, named two-flavors symmetry-locking phase (TFSL), non-Abelian fractional vortices with semi-integer flux and gapless non-Abelian Goldstone modes localized on them appear. Considerations on the possible experimental realization of the TFSL are also provided.
