On the basis of the observed short coherence lengths in the cuprates we argue that a BCS-Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) crossover approach is an appropriate starting point for correcting the mean field approach of BCS and, thereby, for…

We investigate the ground state properties of a disordered superfluid Fermi gas across the BCS-BEC (Bose Einstein condensate) crossover. We show that, for weak disorder, both the depletion of the condensate fraction of pairs and the normal…

In this paper we present predictions for thermodynamic and transport properties of a BCS Bose-Einstein crossover theory, below Tc, which theory satisfies the reasonable constraints that it yield (i) the Leggett ground state and (ii) BCS…

Although the BCS theory of superconductivity is a well established theory, we have shown that the phenomenology predicted by this model is much richer than previously believed. By releasing the constraint that the attraction band is…

We present a theoretical review of the recent progress in nonequilibrium BCS (Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer)-BEC (Bose-Einstein condensation) crossover physics. As a paradigmatic example, we consider a strongly interacting driven-dissipative…

A superfluid-insulator transition is known to occur in strongly disordered Fermi gases, in both the BCS and BEC regimes; here, we address the properties of this transition across the BEC-BCS crossover. We argue that the critical disorder…

We act on the suggestion that an excitonic insulator state might separate---at very low temperatures---a semimetal from a semiconductor and ask for the nature of these transitions. Based on the analysis of electron-hole pairing in the…

We use the standard fermionic and boson-fermion Hamiltonians to study the BCS-BEC cross-over near the 202 G resonance in a two-component mixture of fermionic 40K atoms employed in the experiment of C.A. Regal et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 92,…

We consider a two-component gas of fermionic atoms confined to a quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) geometry by a harmonic trapping potential in the transverse direction. We construct a mean field theory of the BCS-BEC crossover at zero…

The superconducting transition in High Temperature Superconductors(HTS) has not been understood. Traditional Bose Einstein Condensation(BEC) theory provides Tc estimates that are many times higher than the experimental values. The proposed…

The pairing of interacting fermions leading to superfluidity has two limiting regimes: the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) scheme for weakly interacting degenerate fermions and the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of bosonic pairs of…

We investigate strong-coupling superfluidity in a uniform gas of Fermi atoms attractively interacting via quasi-molecular bosons associated with a Feshbach resonance. This interaction is tunable by the threshold energy $2\nu$ of the…

The realization of BCS-BEC crossover in superconductors, which smoothly connects Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory with Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC) in fermion systems, is an intriguing recent topic in strongly correlated electron…

We consider the Eliashberg theory in the coupling region where some fundamental qualitative deviations from the conventional BCS-like behaviour begin to appear. These deviations are identified as the onset of a cross-over from BCS…

The dimensionality of a system profoundly influences its physical behaviour, leading to the emergence of different states of matter in many-body quantum systems. In lower dimensions, fluctuations increase and lead to the suppression of…

Strong evidence for pairing and superfluidity has recently been found in atomic Fermi gases at the BCS-BEC crossover both in collective modes and RF excitation energies. It is argued that the scale for the effective pairing gaps measured in…

We study the impact of weak quenched disorder on the BCS-BEC crossover in the Hubbard model within a functional-integral approach. By deriving the thermodynamic potential up to second order in both the disorder potential and pairing…

The BCS-BEC crossover and phase diagram for asymmetric nuclear superfluid with pairings in isospin I = 0 and I = 1 channels are investigated at mean field level, by using a density dependent nucleon-nucleon potential. Induced by the…

Superfluid condensation can fundamentally be different from that predicted by the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory. In a broad class of low-carrier-density superconductors, such as granular aluminum, doped nitrides, and high-Tc…
