We consider the time evolution of a dilute atomic Fermi gas after release from a trapping potential. A common difficulty with using fluid dynamics to study the expansion of the gas is that the theory is not applicable in the dilute corona,…
The absence of a characteristic momentum scale in the pseudo-potential description of atomic interaction in ultracold (two-component Fermi) gases is known to lead to divergence in perturbation theory. Here we show that they also plague the…
