Strongly interacting, dilute Fermi gases exhibit a scale-invariant, universal thermodynamic behaviour. This is notoriously difficult to understand theoretically because of the absence of a small interaction parameter. Here we present a…

We discuss the generic phase diagrams of pure systems that remain fluid near zero temperature. We call this phase a quantum fluid. We argue that the signature of the transition is the change of sign of the chemical potential, being negative…

We improve the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer wave function with a fixed particle number so as to incorporate many-body correlations beyond the mean-field treatment. It is shown that the correlations lower the ground-state energy far more than…

We reproduce the sub-exponential decoherence of one-dimensional quasicondensates observed in recent experiments. Counter-intuitively, the quasicondensates may decohere even when stongly coupled, if the temperature is large enough or the…
We analyze recent cold-atom experiments on imbalanced Fermi systems using a minimal model with a BCS-like superfluid phase coexisting with a normal phase. This model is used to extract the T=0 pairing gap in the fully paired superfluid…
In this paper, we present in-depth analysis of the condensation energy $E_c$ for a superconductor in a situation when superconductivity emerges out of a non-Fermi liquid due to pairing mediated by a massless boson. This is the case for…

Thermoelectric energy conversion is a direct but low-efficiency process, which precludes the development of long-awaited wide-scale applications. As a breakthrough permitting a drastic performance increase is seemingly out of reach, we…
