A gas of ultracold $^6$Li atoms (effective spin 1/2) confined to an elongated trap with one-dimensional properties is a candidate to display three different phases: (i) fermions bound in Cooper-pair-like states, (ii) unbound spin-polarized…
We present an ab initio study of the ground state of an ideal coupled two-component gas of ultracold atoms in a one dimensional optical lattice, either bosons or fermions. Due to the internal two-level structure of the atoms, the Brillouin…
We consider a cold two-species atomic Fermi gas confined in a trap. We combine the Hermitian coupling between the states (we assume them to be the states with different spins) with the Cooper pairing of atoms with these different spins.…
We have observed two-particle bound states of atoms confined in a one-dimensional matter wave guide. These bound states exist irrespective of the sign of the scattering length, contrary to the situation in free space. Using radio-frequency…
