We investigate the Bose-Einstein condensation of fermionic pairs in three different superfluid systems: ultracold and dilute atomic gases, bulk neutron matter, and neutron stars. In the case of dilute gases made of fermionic atoms the average distance between atoms is much larger than the effective radius of the inter-atomic potential. Here the condensation of fermionic pairs is analyzed as a function of the s-wave scattering length, which can be tuned in experiments by using the technique of Feshbach resonances from a small and negative value (corresponding to the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) regime of Cooper Fermi pairs) to a small and positive value (corresponding to the regime of the Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of molecular dimers), crossing the unitarity regime where the scattering length diverges.

  • Realization of Bose-Einstein Condensation in Dilute Gases
    Realization of Bose-Einstein Condensation in dilute gases Guang Bian May 3, 2008 Abstract: This essay describes theoretical aspects of Bose-Einstein Condensation and the first experimental realization of BEC in dilute alkali gases. In addition, some recent experimental progress related to BEC are reported. 1 Introduction A Bose–Einstein condensate is a state of matter of bosons confined in an external potential and cooled to temperatures very near to absolute zero. Under such supercooled conditions, a large fraction of the atoms collapse into the lowest quantum state of the external potential, at which point quantum effects become apparent on a macroscopic scale. When a bosonic system is cooled below the critical temperature of Bose-Einstein condensation, the behavior of the system will change dramatically, because the condensed particles behaving like a single quantum entity. In this section, I will review the early history of Bose- Einstein Condensation. In 1924, the Indian physicist Satyendra Nath Bose proposed a new derivation of the Planck radiation law. In his derivation, he found that the indistinguishability of particle was the key point to reach the radiation law and he for the first time took the position that the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution would not be true for microscopic particles where fluctuations due to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle will be significant. In the following year Einstein generalized Bose’s method to ideal gases and he showed that the quantum gas would undergo a phase transition at a sufficiently low temperature when a large fraction of the atoms would condense into the lowest energy state. At that time Einstein doubted the strange nature of his prediction and he wrote to Ehrenfest the following sentences, ‘From a certain temperature on, the molecules “condense” without attractive forces, that is, they accumulate at zero velocity.

  • States of Matter Part I
    States of Matter Part I. The Three Common States: Solid, Liquid and Gas David Tin Win Faculty of Science and Technology, Assumption University Bangkok, Thailand Abstract There are three basic states of matter that can be identified: solid, liquid, and gas. Solids, being compact with very restricted movement, have definite shapes and volumes; liquids, with less compact makeup have definite volumes, take the shape of the containers; and gases, composed of loose particles, have volumes and shapes that depend on the container. This paper is in two parts. A short description of the common states (solid, liquid and gas) is described in Part I. This is followed by a general observation of three additional states (plasma, Bose-Einstein Condensate, and Fermionic Condensate) in Part II. Keywords: Ionic solids, liquid crystals, London forces, metallic solids, molecular solids, network solids, quasicrystals. Introduction out everywhere within the container.

It belongs to the world, and is of no country and no age. The more we know, the more we feel our ignorance; the more we feel how much remains unknown..." -Humphry Davy, the discoverer of the element sodium and the eponym of our experiment. iv Abstract A new field of research, which gained interest in the past years, is the field of non- equilibrium physics of strongly interacting fermionic systems. In this thesis we present a novel apparatus to study an ultracold strongly interacting superfluid Fermi gas driven out of equilibrium. In more detail, we study the excitation of a collective mode, the Higgs mode, and the dynamics occurring after a rapid quench of the interaction strength. Ultracold gases are ideal candidates to explore the physics of strongly inter- acting Fermi gases due to their purity and the possibility to continuously change many different system parameters, such as the interaction strength.

  • Resonantly Paired Fermionic Superfluids
    Annals of Physics 322 (2007) 2–119 www.elsevier.com/locate/aop Resonantly paired fermionic superfluids V. Gurarie *, L. Radzihovsky Department of Physics, University of Colorado, Boulder, CO 80309, USA Received 28 October 2006; accepted 28 October 2006 Abstract We present a theory of a degenerate atomic Fermi gas, interacting through a narrow Feshbach resonance, whose position and therefore strength can be tuned experimentally, as demonstrated recently in ultracold trapped atomic gases. The distinguishing feature of the theory is that its accu- racy is controlled by a dimensionless parameter proportional to the ratio of the width of the reso- nance to Fermi energy. The theory is therefore quantitatively accurate for a narrow Feshbach resonance. In the case of a narrow s-wave resonance, our analysis leads to a quantitative description of the crossover between a weakly paired BCS superconductor of overlapping Cooper pairs and a strongly paired molecular Bose–Einstein condensate of diatomic molecules. In the case of pairing via a p-wave resonance, that we show is always narrow for a sufficiently low density, we predict a detuning-temperature phase diagram, that in the course of a BCS–BEC crossover can exhibit a host of thermodynamically distinct phases separated by quantum and classical phase transitions. For an intermediate strength of the dipolar anisotropy, the system exhibits a px +ipy paired superfluidity that undergoes a topological phase transition between a weakly coupled gapless ground state at large positive detuning and a strongly paired fully gapped molecular superfluid for a negative detuning. In two dimensions the former state is characterized by a Pfaffian ground state exhibiting topological order and non-Abelian vortex excitations familiar from fractional quantum Hall systems.

    University of California Los Angeles Superfluid Theory: Vortex Theory of the Phase Transition, Pressure Dependencies in Equilibrated Three-Dimensional Bulk, and Vortex Pair Density in Quenched Two-Dimensional Film A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Physics by Andrew Wade Forrester 2012 Abstract of the Dissertation Superfluid Theory: Vortex Theory of the Phase Transition, Pressure Dependencies in Equilibrated Three-Dimensional Bulk, and Vortex Pair Density in Quenched Two-Dimensional Film by Andrew Wade Forrester Doctor of Philosophy in Physics University of California, Los Angeles, 2012 Professor Gary A. Williams, Chair The vortex theory of the helium-4-type superfluid phase transition, in both the 3D-bulk form and 2D-film form, is herein explained and intuitively derived. New evidence is provided supporting the accuracy of the 3D vortex loop theory in equilibrium over all pressures up to the solidification point. We show that the 3D theory consistently de- scribes, within about 200 µK below Tλ, the pressure dependence of the helium superfluid fraction, heat capacity, vortex-loop core diameter, smallest-loop energy, and universal quantity X, which relates to an algebraic combination of the superfluid-fraction and specific-heat critical amplitudes. We suggest that the smallest vortex loops of the theory, with size on the order of angstroms, may be crude approximations for rotons. We also present a new exact analytic solution for the 2D non-equilibrium dynamics of vortex pairs in rapid temperature quenches. ii The dissertation of Andrew Wade Forrester is approved. Robijn F.
