The Fulde–Ferrell–Larkin–Ovchinnikov state for ultracold fermions in lattice and harmonic potentials: a review

JJ Kinnunen, JE Baarsma… - Reports on Progress …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We review the concepts and the present state of theoretical studies of spin-imbalanced
superfluidity, in particular the elusive Fulde–Ferrell–Larkin–Ovchinnikov (FFLO) state, in the …

Imbalanced Fermi gases at unitarity

KB Gubbels, HTC Stoof - Physics Reports, 2013 - Elsevier
We consider imbalanced Fermi gases with strong attractive interactions, for which Cooper-
pair formation plays an important role. The two-component mixtures consist either of …

Ultracold atomic gases in optical lattices: mimicking condensed matter physics and beyond

M Lewenstein, A Sanpera, V Ahufinger… - Advances in …, 2007 - Taylor & Francis
We review recent developments in the physics of ultracold atomic and molecular gases in
optical lattices. Such systems are nearly perfect realisations of various kinds of Hubbard …

Phase diagram of a two-component Fermi gas with resonant interactions

Y Shin, CH Schunck, A Schirotzek, W Ketterle - Nature, 2008 - nature.com
The pairing of fermions lies at the heart of superconductivity and superfluidity. The stability of
these pairs determines the robustness of the superfluid state, and the quest for …

Direct observation of the superfluid phase transition in ultracold Fermi gases

MW Zwierlein, CH Schunck, A Schirotzek, W Ketterle - nature, 2006 - nature.com
Phase transitions are dramatic phenomena: water freezes into ice, atomic spins
spontaneously align in a magnet, and liquid helium becomes superfluid. Sometimes, such a …

Ultra-cold polarized Fermi gases

F Chevy, C Mora - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
Recent experiments with ultra-cold atoms have demonstrated the possibility of realizing
fermionic superfluids with imbalanced spin populations experimentally. We discuss how …

Normal state of a polarized Fermi gas at unitarity

C Lobo, A Recati, S Giorgini, S Stringari - Physical Review Letters, 2006 - APS
We study the Fermi gas at unitarity and at T= 0 by assuming that, at high polarizations, it is a
normal Fermi liquid composed of weakly interacting quasiparticles associated with the …

Imbalanced feshbach-resonant fermi gases

L Radzihovsky, DE Sheehy - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
We present an overview of recent developments in species-imbalanced ('polarized')
Feshbach-resonant Fermi gases. We summarize the current status of thermodynamics of …

BEC–BCS crossover, phase transitions and phase separation in polarized resonantly-paired superfluids

DE Sheehy, L Radzihovsky - Annals of Physics, 2007 - Elsevier
We study resonantly-paired s-wave superfluidity in a degenerate gas of two species
(hyperfine states labeled by↑,↓) of fermionic atoms when the numbers N↑ and N↓ of the …

Finite-temperature phase diagram of a polarized Fermi condensate

MM Parish, FM Marchetti, A Lamacraft, BD Simons - Nature Physics, 2007 - nature.com
The two-component Fermi gas is the simplest fermion system exhibiting superfluidity, and as
such is relevant to topics ranging from superconductivity to quantum chromodynamics …
