Time-dependent density functional theory and the real-time dynamics of Fermi superfluids

A Bulgac - Annual Review of Nuclear and Particle Science, 2013 - annualreviews.org
I describe the time-dependent superfluid local density approximation, which is an adiabatic
extension of the density functional theory to superfluid Fermi systems and their real-time …

Strongly correlated quantum fluids: ultracold quantum gases, quantum chromodynamic plasmas and holographic duality

A Adams, LD Carr, T Schäfer, P Steinberg… - New Journal of …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
Strongly correlated quantum fluids are phases of matter that are intrinsically quantum

Bose-Einstein condensation: Twenty years after

VS Bagnato, DJ Frantzeskakis, PG Kevrekidis… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2015 - arxiv.org
The aim of this introductory article is two-fold. First, we aim to offer a general introduction to
the theme of Bose-Einstein condensates, and briefly discuss the evolution of a number of …

Heavy solitons in a fermionic superfluid

T Yefsah, AT Sommer, MJH Ku, LW Cheuk, W Ji… - Nature, 2013 - nature.com
Solitons—solitary waves that maintain their shape as they propagate—occur as water waves
in narrow canals, as light pulses in optical fibres and as quantum mechanical matter waves …

Motion of a Solitonic Vortex in the BEC-BCS Crossover

MJH Ku, W Ji, B Mukherjee, E Guardado-Sanchez… - Physical review …, 2014 - APS
We observe a long-lived solitary wave in a superfluid Fermi gas of Li 6 atoms after phase
imprinting. Tomographic imaging reveals the excitation to be a solitonic vortex, oriented …

On the direct detection of gravitational waves∗

VI Pustovoit - Physics-Uspekhi, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
Different types of gravitational wave (GW) detectors are considered. It is noted that
interferometric techniques offer the greatest prospects for GW registration due to their high …

Cascade of solitonic excitations in a superfluid fermi gas: From planar solitons to vortex rings and lines

MJH Ku, B Mukherjee, T Yefsah, MW Zwierlein - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
We follow the time evolution of a superfluid Fermi gas of resonantly interacting Li 6 atoms
after a phase imprint. Via tomographic imaging, we observe the formation of a planar dark …

Quantized superfluid vortex rings in the unitary Fermi gas

A Bulgac, MMN Forbes, MM Kelley, KJ Roche… - Physical review …, 2014 - APS
In a recent article, Yefsah [Nature (London) 499, 426 (2013)] report the observation of an
unusual excitation in an elongated harmonically trapped unitary Fermi gas. After phase …

Many-body quantum dynamics in the decay of bent dark solitons of Bose–Einstein condensates

GC Katsimiga, SI Mistakidis… - New Journal of …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
The beyond mean-field (MF) dynamics of a bent dark soliton (BDS) embedded in a two-
dimensional repulsively interacting Bose–Einstein condensate is explored. We examine the …

Dark solitons with Majorana fermions in spin-orbit-coupled Fermi gases

Y Xu, L Mao, B Wu, C Zhang - Physical Review Letters, 2014 - APS
We show that a single dark soliton can exist in a spin-orbit-coupled Fermi gas with a high
spin imbalance, where spin-orbit coupling favors uniform superfluids over nonuniform Fulde …
