    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 identical fermionic atoms in two different hyperfine states, or of two different atomic species both occupying only a single hyperfine state. In both cases, the number of atoms for each component is allowed to be different, which leads to a spin imbalance, or spin polarization. Two different atomic species also lead to a mass imbalance. Imbalanced Fermi gases are relevant to condensed-matter physics, nuclear physics and astroparticle physics. They have been studied intensively in recent years, following their experimental realization in ultracold atomic Fermi gases. The experimental control in such a system allows for a systematic study of the equation of state and the phase diagram as a function of temperature, spin polarization and interaction strength. In this review, we discuss the progress in understanding strongly-interacting imbalanced Fermi gases, where the main goal is to describe the results of the highly controlled experiments. We start by discussing Feshbach resonances, after which we treat the imbalanced Fermi gas in mean-field theory to give an introduction to the relevant physics. We encounter several unusual superfluid phases, including phase-separation, gapless Sarma superfluidity, and supersolidity. To obtain a more quantitative description of the experiments, we review also more sophisticated techniques, such as diagrammatic methods and the renormalization-group theory. We end the review by discussing two theoretical approaches to treat the inhomogeneous imbalanced Fermi gas, namely the Landau–Ginzburg theory and the Bogoliubov–de Gennes approach

    Inelastic light scattering from a Mott insulator

    Full text link
    We propose to use Bragg spectroscopy to measure the excitation spectrum of the Mott insulator state of an atomic Bose gas in an optical lattice. We calculate the structure factor of the Mott insulator taking into account both the selfenergy corrections of the atoms and the corresponding dressing of the atom-photon interaction. We determine the scattering rate of photons in the stimulated Raman transition and show that by measuring this scattering rate in an experiment, in particular the excitation gap of the Mott insulator can be determined.Comment: 4 pages, 7 figures, LaTeX, submitted to PR

    Out-of-equilibrium quantum fields with conserved charge

    Full text link
    We study the out-of-equilibrium evolution of an O(2)-invariant scalar field in which a conserved charge is stored. We apply a loop expansion of the 2-particle irreducible effective action to 3-loop order. Equations of motion are derived which conserve both total charge and total energy yet allow for the effects of scattering whereby charge and energy can transfer between modes. Working in (1+1)-dimensions we solve the equations of motion numerically for a system knocked out of equilibrium by a sudden temperature quench. We examine the initial stages of the charge and energy redistribution. This provides a basis from which we can understand the formation of Bose-Einstein condensates from first principles.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures, replacement with improved presentatio

    Variational self-consistent theory for trapped Bose gases at finite temperature

    Full text link
    We apply the time-dependent variational principle of Balian-V\'en\'eroni to a system of self-interacting trapped bosons at finite temperature. The method leads to a set of coupled non-linear time dependent equations for the condensate density, the thermal cloud and the anomalous density. We solve numerically these equations in the static case for a harmonic trap. We analyze the various densities as functions of the radial distance and the temperature. We find an overall good qualitative agreement with recent experiments as well as with the results of many theoretical groups. We also discuss the behavior of the anomalous density at low temperatures owing to its importance to account for many-body effects.Comment: 8 pages, 8 figure

    Stability of Bose condensed atomic Li-7

    Full text link
    We study the stability of a Bose condensate of atomic 7^7Li in a (harmonic oscillator) magnetic trap at non-zero temperatures. In analogy to the stability criterion for a neutron star, we conjecture that the gas becomes unstable if the free energy as a function of the central density of the cloud has a local extremum which conserves the number of particles. Moreover, we show that the number of condensate particles at the point of instability decreases with increasing temperature, and that for the temperature interval considered, the normal part of the gas is stable against density fluctuations at this point.Comment: Submitted for publication in Physical Review

    Cooper pairing and single particle properties of trapped Fermi gases

    Full text link
    We calculate the elementary excitations and pairing of a trapped atomic Fermi gas in the superfluid phase. The level spectra and pairing gaps undergo several transitions as the strength of the interactions between and the number of atoms are varied. For weak interactions, the Cooper pairs are formed between particles residing in the same harmonic oscillator shell. In this regime, the nature of the paired state is shown to depend critically on the position of the chemical potential relative to the harmonic oscillator shells and on the size of the mean field. For stronger interactions, we find a region where pairing occur between time-reversed harmonic oscillator states in different shells also.Comment: Slightly revised version: Mistakes in equation references in figures corrected.

    Atomic Bose Gas with Negative Scattering Length

    Full text link
    We derive the equation of state of a dilute atomic Bose gas with an interatomic interaction that has a negative scattering length and argue that two continuous phase transitions, occuring in the gas due to quantum degeneracy effects, are preempted by a first-order gas-liquid or gas-solid transition depending on the details of the interaction potential. We also discuss the consequences of this result for future experiments with magnetically trapped spin-polarized atomic gasses such as lithium and cesium.Comment: 16 PAGES, REVTEX 3.0, ACCEPTED FOR PUBLICATION IN PHYS.

    Pairing of fermions in atomic traps and nuclei

    Full text link
    Pairing gaps for fermionic atoms in harmonic oscillator traps are calculated for a wide range of interaction strengths and particle number, and compared to pairing in nuclei. Especially systems, where the pairing gap exceeds the level spacing but is smaller than the shell splitting ω\hbar\omega, are studied which applies to most trapped Fermi atomic systems as well as to finite nuclei. When solving the gap equation for a large trap with such multi-level pairing, one finds that the matrix elements between nearby harmonic oscillator levels and the quasi-particle energies lead to a double logarithm of the gap, and a pronounced shell structure at magic numbers. It is argued that neutron and proton pairing in nuclei belongs to the class of multi-level pairing, that their shell structure follows naturally and that the gaps scale as A1/3\sim A^{-1/3} - all in qualitative agreement with odd-even staggering of nuclear binding energies. Pairing in large systems are related to that in the bulk limit. For large nuclei the neutron and proton superfluid gaps approach the asymptotic value in infinite nuclear matter: Δ1.1\Delta\simeq 1.1 MeV.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figure
