Abstract

A four-component Fermi gas in one dimension with a short-range four-body interaction is shown to exhibit a one-dimensional analog of the BCS-BEC crossover. Its low-energy physics is governed by a Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid with three spin gaps. The spin gaps are exponentially small in the weak coupling (BCS) limit where they arise from the charge-density-wave instability, and become large in the strong coupling (BEC) limit because of the formation of tightly bound tetramers. We investigate the ground-state energy, the sound velocity, and the gap spectrum in the BCS-BEC crossover and discuss exact relationships valid in our system. We also show that a one-dimensional analog of the Efimov effect occurs for five bosons while it is absent for fermions. Our work opens up a very rich field of universal few-body and many-body physics in one dimension.

Three-component Fermi gas withSU(3) symmetry: BCS–BEC crossover in three and two dimensions

Luca Salasnich

We analyze the BCS-BEC crossover for a Fermi gas made of neutral atoms in three hyperfine states with a SU(3) invariant attractive interaction. By solving the extended BCS equations for the total number of particles and the pairing gap, we calculate at zero temperature the pairing gap, the population imbalance, the condensate fraction and the first sound velocity of the uniform system as a function of the interaction strength in both three and two dimensions. Contrary to the three-dimensional case, in two dimensions the condensate fraction approaches the value 1 only for an extremely large interaction strength and, moreover, the sound velocity gives a clear signature of the disappearance of one of the three hyperfine components.

Universal low-energy physics in 1D strongly repulsive multi-component Fermi gases

Yuzhu Jiang, Peng He, Xi‐Wen Guan

Abstract It has been shown (Yang and You 2011 Chin. Phys. Lett. 28 020503 ) that at zero temperature the ground state of the one-dimensional (1D) w -component Fermi gas coincides with that of the spinless Bose gas in the limit . This behavior was experimentally evidenced through quasi-1D tightly trapping ultracold 173 Yb atoms in a recent paper (Pagano et al 2014 Nat. Phys. 10 198 ). However, understanding of low-temperature behavior of Fermi gases with a repulsive interaction requires spin-charge separated conformal field theories of an effective Tomonaga–Luttinger liquid and an antiferromagnetic SU ( w ) Heisenberg spin chain. Here we analytically derive universal thermodynamics of 1D strongly repulsive fermionic gases with SU ( w ) symmetry via the Yang–Yang thermodynamic Bethe ansatz method. The analytical free energy and magnetic properties of the systems at low temperature in a weak magnetic field are obtained through the Wiener–Hopf method. In particular, the free energy essentially manifests the spin-charge separated conformal field theories for high-symmetry systems with arbitrary repulsive interaction strength. We also find that the sound velocity of the Fermi gases in the large w limit coincides with that for the spinless Bose gas, whereas the spin velocity vanishes quickly as w becomes large. This indicates strong suppression of the Fermi exclusion statistics by the commutativity feature among the w -component fermions with different spin states in the Tomonaga–Luttinger liquid phase. Moreover, the equations of state and critical behavior of physical quantities at finite temperature are analytically derived in terms of the polylogarithm functions in the quantum critical region.

Universal p -wave tetramers in low-dimensional fermionic systems with three-body interaction

V. Polkanov, V. Pastukhov

Inspired by the narrow Feshbach resonance in systems with the two-body interaction, we propose a two-channel model of three-component fermions with a three-body interaction that takes into account finite-range effects in low dimensions. Within this model, the p -wave Efimov-like effect in the four-body sector is predicted in fractional dimensions between d=1 and d=2 . The impact of the finite-range interaction on the formation of the four-body bound states in d=1 is also discussed in detail. Published by the American Physical Society 2024

Universal properties of Fermi gases in one dimension

Wenbin He, Yang-Yang Chen, Shizhong Zhang +1 more

In this Rapid Communication, we investigate the universal properties of a spin-polarized two-component Fermi gas in one dimension (1D) using the Bethe ansatz. We discuss the quantum phases and phase transitions by obtaining exact results for the equation of state, the contact, the magnetic susceptibility, and the contact susceptibility, giving a precise understanding of the 1D analog of the Bose-Einstein condensation and Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer crossover in three dimensions (3D) and the associated universal magnetic properties. In particular, we obtain the exact form of the magnetic susceptibility $\ensuremath{\chi}\ensuremath{\sim}1/\sqrt{T}exp(\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}/T)$ at low temperatures, where $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}$ is the energy gap and $T$ is the temperature. Moreover, we establish exact upper and lower bounds for the relation between polarization $P$ and the contact $C$ for both repulsive and attractive Fermi gases. Our findings emphasize the role of pair fluctuations in strongly interacting 1D fermion systems that can shed light on higher dimensions.

Boson-fermion resonance model in one dimension

Alessio Recati, Jean-Noël Fuchs, W. Zwerger

We discuss the BCS-BEC crossover for one-dimensional spin-$1∕2$ fermions at zero temperature using the boson-fermion resonance model in one dimension. We show that in the limit of a broad resonance, this model is equivalent to an exactly solvable single-channel model, the so-called modified Gaudin-Yang model. We argue that the one-dimensional crossover may be realized either via the combination of a Feshbach resonance and a confinement-induced resonance or using direct photoassociation in a two-component Fermi gas with effectively one-dimensional dynamics. In both cases, the system may be driven from a BCS-like state through a molecular Tonks-Girardeau gas close to resonance to a weakly interacting Bose gas of dimers.

Dimensional crossover in two-component Fermi gases with attractive interactions

Mathias Macêdo Lima

This work studies zero-temperature Fermi gases with short-ranged and attractive interactions with focus on the dimensionality aspects by confining the system from three to two dimensions. Interacting Fermi gases are superfluids characterized as being strongly correlated if the scattering length is much larger than the other scales present. In the many-body context, this category of systems requires a careful treatment since mean-field approaches are not expected to hold under the conditions which define the strong pairing. For this reason, we employ quantum Monte Carlo methods to study the dimensionality effects in two-component Fermi gases in the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer to Bose-Einstein condensate (BCS-BEC) crossover. To be able to investigate such aspects, we consider a three-dimensional gas with periodic boundary conditions in the xy plane and a confining potential in the z direction capable of reducing the dimensionality of the system, which defines a dimensional BCS-BEC crossover. We calculate the equation of state as the energy per particle as a function of the dimensionality and as a function of the interaction parameter, which are characterized by the oscillator length in the z direction and the scattering length respectively. The greater confinement in the system lowers the interparticle distances, which increases the effects of the attractive interactions between antiparallel-spin fermions.We also calculate the density profile in the z direction over the crossover for different confinements and different interaction parameters to quantify their influence on the spatial distribution of the particles. This study connects the perspectives between theoretical and experimental works in low-dimensional ultracold Fermi gases by utilizing an approach that is similar to what it is realized in modern experiments.
