We numerically study the transport properties of a two-dimensional Fermi gas in a weakly and strongly interacting regimes, in the range of temperatures close to the transition to a superfluid phase. For that we excite sound waves in a…
Very recently quasi two-dimensional (2D) systems made of attractive fermionic alkali-metal atoms with a widely tunable interaction due to Fano-Feshbach resonances have been realized. In this way it has been achieved the 2D crossover from…
This thesis presents theoretical work in s- and p-wave resonantly paired Fermi gases at zero temperature. In the BEC regime of the wide-resonance s-wave BCS-BEC crossover, the chemical potential, speed of sound, condensate depletion, and…
We investigate the low-temperature thermodynamics of the unitary Fermi gas by introducing a model based on the zero-temperature spectra of both bosonic collective modes and fermonic single-particle excitations. We calculate the Helmholtz…
Hydrodynamic phonon transport phenomena, like second sound, have been observed in liquid Helium more than 50 years ago. More recently second sound has been observed in graphite at over 200 K using transient thermal grating techniques. In…

In this work, we generalize the two-fluid theory to a superfluid system with anisotropic effective masses along different principal axis directions. As a specific example, such a theory can be applied to spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein…
Systems showing resonant superfluidity, driven by an exchange coupling of strength $g$ between uncorrelated pairs of itinerant fermions and tightly bound ones, undergo a first order phase transition as $g$ increases beyond some critical…
We study the propagation of sound waves in a binary superfluid gas with two symmetric components. The binary superfluid is constituted using a Bose-Einstein condensate of $^{23}$Na in an equal mixture of two hyperfine ground states. Sound…
Bulk superfluid helium supports two sound modes: first sound is an ordinary pressure wave, while second sound is a temperature wave, unique to inviscid superfluid systems. These sound modes do not usually exist independently, but rather…
We present a unified hydrodynamic approach for the sound propagation in the stripe phases realized in ultracold dipolar gas and spin-orbit-coupled BEC platforms at zero temperature. Despite the deep difference of the two platforms at a…
In two-dimensional systems with a continuous symmetry the Mermin-Wagner-Hohenberg theorem precludes spontaneous symmetry breaking and condensation at finite temperature. The Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless critical temperature marks the…
We study a gas of fermions undergoing a wide resonance s-wave BCS-BEC crossover, in the BEC regime at zero temperature. We calculate the chemical potential and the speed of sound of this Bose-condensed gas, as well as the condensate…
We discuss the possible signatures of superfluidity induced by the Feshbach resonance in ultracold gas of fermion atoms. Approaching the phase transition from above there appear various manifestations of the gradually emerging order…
We examine collective modes, stability, and BCS pairing in a quasi-two-dimensional gas of dipolar fermions aligned by an external field. By using the (conserving) Hartree-Fock approximation, which treats direct and exchange interactions on…
This paper addresses the transition from the normal to the superfluid state in strongly correlated two dimensional fermionic superconductors and Fermi gases. We arrive at the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) temperature…
We discuss the collective excitations in a spatially inhomogeneous (cylindrically symmetric) Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) at low temperature ($T \ll T_{\lambda}$). The main result is the dispersion relation for a (first) sound wave that…

Simulation of a sonic black-hole/white-hole pair in a (2+1)-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate shows formation of superfluid vortices through dynamical instabilities seeded by initial quantum noise. The instabilities saturate in a…
The hydrodynamic description of a superfluid is usually based on a two-fluid picture. In this thesis, basic properties of such a relativistic two-fluid system are derived from the underlying microscopic physics of a complex scalar quantum…
