We use all-optical methods to produce a highly-degenerate Fermi gas of spin-1/2 $^6$Li atoms. A magnetic field tunes the gas near a collisional (Feshbach) resonance, producing strong interactions between spin-up and spin-down atoms. This…
In the unitary regime, fermions interact strongly via two-body potentials that exhibit a zero range and a (negative) infinite scattering length. The energy density is proportional to the free Fermi gas with a proportionality constant $\xi$.…

We investigate the single-particle properties at T=0 of a trapped superfluid gas of Fermi atoms with a Feshbach resonance. A tunable pairing interaction associated with the Feshbach resonance leads to the BCS-BEC crossover, where the…

A Fermi gas of cold atoms allows precise control over the dimensionless effective range, $k_\mathrm{F} R_\mathrm{eff}$, of the Feshbach resonance. Our pseudopotential formalism allows us to create smooth potentials with effective range, $-2…

Two atoms in an optical lattice may be made to interact strongly at higher partial waves near a Feshbach resonance. These atoms, under appropriate constraints, could be bosonic or fermionic. The universal $l=2$ energy spectrum for such a…

We report on the measurement of the heat capacity for an optically-trapped, strongly-interacting Fermi gas of atoms. In the experiments, a precise input of energy to the gas is followed by single-parameter thermometry. The thermometry…
We investigate an ultracold Fermi gas at unitarity confined in a periodic box $V=L^3$ using renormalization group (RG) techniques. Within this approach we can quantitatively assess the long range bosonic order parameter fluctuations which…

It is suggested that for a fermi gas at unitarity, the two-body bond plays a special role. We propose an equation of state using an ansatz relating the interaction part of the $l$-body cluster to its two-body counterpart. This allows a…
We study a system of $N$ non-interacting spin-less fermions trapped in a confining potential, in arbitrary dimensions $d$ and arbitrary temperature $T$. The presence of the trap introduces an edge where the average density of fermions…
