The microscopic pair structure of superfluids has profound consequences on their properties. Delocalized pairs are predicted to be less affected by static disorder than localized pairs. Ultracold gases allow tuning the pair size via…
We precisely measure the shear viscosity for a resonantly interacting Fermi gas as a function of temperature, from nearly the ground state through the superfluid phase transition at a critical temperature $T_c$. Using an iterative method to…
We consider a two-component Fermi gas with attractive interactions on a square optical lattice, and study the interplay of Zeeman field, spin-orbit coupling and next-nearest-neighbor hopping on the ground-state phase diagrams in the entire…
We propose a new method of detecting the onset of superfluidity in a two-component ultracold fermionic gas of atoms governed by an attractive short-range interaction. By studying the two-body correlation functions we find that a measurement…
Recent advances in ultrafast measurement in cold atoms, as well as pump-probe spectroscopy of $K_3 C_{60}$ films, have opened the possibility of rapidly quenching systems of interacting fermions to, and across, a finite temperature…
The possibility of Bloch oscillations for a degenerate and superfluid Fermi gas of atoms in an optical lattice is considered. For a one-component degenerate gas the oscillations are suppressed for high temperatures and band fillings. For a…
In this paper we discuss the fluidity of the hot and dense QCD matter created in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions in comparison with various other fluids, and in particular suggest its possible supercriticality. After examining the…
The crossover from weak coupling Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) pairing to a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of tightly bound pairs, as a function of the attractive interaction in Fermi systems, has long been of interest to theoretical…
We investigate the dynamical properties of a superfluid gas of trapped fermionic atoms in the BCS phase. As a simple example we consider the reaction of the gas to a slow rotation of the trap. It is shown that the currents generated by the…
The recent experimental realization of spin-orbit coupling for ultra-cold atoms has generated much interest in the physics of spin-orbit coupled degenerate Fermi gases. Although recently the BCS-BEC crossover in three-dimensional (3D)…
We compute the shear viscosity of a superfluid atomic Fermi gas in the unitarity limit. The unitarity limit is characterized by a divergent scattering length between the atoms, and it has been argued that this will result in a very small…
We study the drag force on objects moving in a Fermi superfluid at velocities on the order of the Landau velocity $v_L$. The expectation has been that $v_L$ is the critical velocity beyond which the drag force starts to increase towards its…
We propose the novel mechanism leading to superfluidity breakdown in dilute Bose-condensed gases. We discuss the properties and highlight the role played by surface excitations in trapped condensates. We show that the critical velocity…
We study the critical energy dissipation in an atomic superfluid gas with two symmetric spin components by an oscillating magnetic obstacle. Above a certain critical oscillation frequency, spin-wave excitations are generated by the magnetic…
We study dynamics of an ultra-cold atomic BCS superfluid driven towards the BCS superfluid-Fermi liquid quantum critical point by a gradual decrease of the pairing interaction. We analyze how the BCS superfluid falls out of equilibrium and…
We present an analytically solvable theory of BCS-type superconductivity in good metals which are confined along one of the three spatial directions, such as thin films. Closed-form expressions for the dependence of the superconducting…
Superfluidity in an ultracold Fermi gas is usually associated with either a negative scattering length, or the presence of a two-body bound state. We show that none of these ingredients is necessary to achieve superfluidity. Using a narrow…
We investigate the phase diagram of two-component fermions in the BCS-BEC crossover. Using functional renormalization group equations we calculate the effect of quantum fluctuations on the fermionic self-energy parametrized by a…
We investigate theoretically the properties of a trapped gas of fermionic atoms in both the normal and the superfluid phases. Our analysis, which accounts for the shell structure of the normal phase spectrum, identifies two observables…
A method for calculation of the critical temperature of transition of a many-particle Fermi system into a superfluid or a superconducting state at an arbitrary pair potential of the interparticle interaction is proposed. An original…
