The Cooper pair is generally analyzed in momentum space, but its real-space structure also follows directly from the BCS theory. It is shown here that this leads to a spherically symmetrical quasi-atomic wavefunction, with an identical…
We consider fermionic polar molecules in a bilayer geometry where they are oriented perpendicularly to the layers, which permits both low inelastic losses and superfluid pairing. The dipole-dipole interaction between molecules of different…
