We observe new Feshbach resonances in ultracold mixtures of $^{85}$Rb and $^{87}$Rb atoms in the $^{85}$Rb$|2, +2\rangle$+$^{87}$Rb$|1, +1\rangle$ and $^{85}$Rb$|2, -2\rangle$+$^{87}$Rb$|1, -1\rangle$ scattering channels. The positions and…

We have prepared a degenerate gas of fermionic atoms which move in two dimensions while the motion in the third dimension is "frozen" by tight confinement and low temperature. {\it In situ} imaging provides direct measurement of the density…
Feshbach resonances are commonly described by a single-resonance Feshbach model, and open-channel resonances are not taken into account explicitly. However, an open-channel resonance near threshold limits the range of validity of this…
We study collisional loss of a quasi-one-dimensional (1D) spin-polarized Fermi gas near a $p$-wave Feshbach resonance in ultracold $^6$Li atoms. We measure the location of the $p$-wave resonance in quasi-1D and observe a confinement-induced…
Fermionic superfluidity in atomic Fermi gases across a Feshbach resonance is normally described by the atom-molecule theory, which treats the closed channel as a noninteracting point boson. In this work we present a theoretical description…
In the vicinity of a Feshbach resonance, a system of ultracold atoms on an optical lattice undergoes rich physical transformations which involve molecule formation and hopping of molecules on the lattice and thus goes beyond a single-band…
