Fermions in two-dimensions (2D) when subject to anisotropic spin-dependent hopping can potentially give rise to unusual paired states in {\it unpolarized} mixtures that can behave as non-Fermi liquids. One possibility is a fully paired…

Whether it occurs in superconductors, helium-3 or inside a neutron star, fermionic superfluidity requires pairing of fermions, particles with half-integer spin. For an equal mixture of two states of fermions ("spin up" and "spin down"),…
The Fulde-Ferrell (FF) superfluid phase, in which fermions form finite-momentum Cooper pairings, is well studied in spin-singlet superfluids in past decades. Different from previous works that engineer the FF state in spinful cold atoms, we…
The angular momentum of an electron is characterized well by pseudospin with $J=3/2$ in the presence of strong spin-orbit interactions. We study theoretically the Josephson effect of superconductors in which such two $J=3/2$ electrons form…
We show the spin-orbital coupling induced by an artificial light-induced gauge field can fully restore superfluidity suppressed by population imbalance in a two-dimensional (2D) Fermi gas, leading to unconventional superfluid states either…
