The physics of quantum degenerate atomic Fermi gases in uniform as well as in
harmonically trapped configurations is reviewed from a theoretical perspective. Emphasis is …

After decades of improvements in cooling techniques of several atomic species and in
finding methods for the achievement of stable quantum mixtures, the field is now ready for …

The coupling of the spin of electrons to their motional state lies at the heart of recently
discovered topological phases of matter. Here we create and detect spin-orbit coupling in an …

Quantum degenerate Fermi gases provide a remarkable opportunity to study strongly
interacting fermions. In contrast to other Fermi systems, such as superconductors, neutron …

We report on the Bose-Einstein condensation of more than 105 Li2 molecules in an optical
trap starting from a spin mixture of fermionic lithium atoms. During forced evaporative …

We review the quantum fidelity approach to quantum phase transitions in a pedagogical
manner. We try to relate all established but scattered results on the leading term of the …

We have observed Bose-Einstein condensation of molecules. When a spin mixture of
fermionic L i 6 atoms was evaporatively cooled in an optical dipole trap near a Feshbach …

We discuss the behavior of weakly bound bosonic dimers formed in a two-component cold
Fermi gas at a large positive scattering length a for the interspecies interaction. We find the …

We propose to utilize density-density correlations in the image of an expanding gas cloud to
probe complex many-body states of trapped ultracold atoms. In particular, we show how this …

This paper summarizes the experimental frontier of ultracold fermionic gases. It is based on
three lectures which one of the authors gave at the Varenna Summer School describing the …
