Abstract

In this work, the dressed molecules theory is used to describe the two-dimensional quantum anomaly of breathing mode in the recent experimental system\cite{Holten2018,Peppler2018}. With the aid of a beyond mean-field, Gaussian pair fluctuation theory, we employ the dressed molecules states to characterize the axial excited states and the Feshbach molecular states, and propose a complete low energy effective theory. We show that, in the whole crossover from a Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) superfluid to a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), our theory can describe the two-dimensional experimental systems precisely in low energe region. We explain the the puzzling experimental observations of the smaller than expected breathing mode frequency perfectly. Our establishment of the dressed molecules theory for 2D fermions is crucial to understand the conformal anomaly in the quasi low-dimensional quantum systems.

BCS–BEC crossover in a quasi-two-dimensional Fermi superfluid

Jing Zhou, Tingting Shi, Xia-Ji Liu +2 more

Abstract We study the crossover from the Bardeen–Cooper–Shrieffer regime to the Bose–Einstein-condensation regime in an anisotropic trapped quantum gas of ultracold fermionic atoms. Using an effective two-dimensional Hamiltonian with renormalized interactions between atoms and dressed molecules, we extend the Gaussian pair fluctuation theory to quasi-two-dimensional systems. The equation of state, pair size and sound velocity as well as the convexity parameters of the Goldstone mode are investigated to show how Fermi superfluidity is affected by reduced dimensionality and Gaussian fluctuations at zero temperature in a wide range of crossover. We compare our results with the recent experiment of 6 L i atomic gases and find good agreements.

BCS-BEC crossover of a quasi-two-dimensional Fermi gas: The significance of dressed molecules

Wei Zhang, Guin-Dar Lin, L.-M. Duan

We study the crossover of a quasi-two-dimensional Fermi gas trapped in the radial plane from the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) regime to the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) regime by crossing a wide Feshbach resonance. We consider two effective two-dimensional Hamiltonians within the mean-field level, and calculate the zero-temperature cloud size and number density distribution. For a model 1 Hamiltonian with renormalized atom-atom interaction, we observe a constant cloud size for arbitrary detunings. For a model 2 Hamiltonian with renormalized interactions between atoms and dressed molecules, the cloud size deceases from the BCS to BEC side, which is consistent with the picture of BCS-BEC crossover. This qualitative discrepancy between the two models indicates that the inclusion of dressed molecules is essential for a mean-field description of quasi-two-dimensional Fermi systems, especially on the BEC side of the Feshbach resonance.

Dressed molecules in atomic quantum gases

M. W. J. Romans

The use of Feshbach resonances in the field of ultracold gases has received a lot of attention recently. In first instance it was realized that these resonances can be used to alter the interaction strength in an atomic gas, by means of tuning an external magnetic field. Furthermore, by sweeping the magnetic field from one side of the resonance to the other, a degenerate gas of bosonic molecules can be created, a significant accomplishment. By making the interactions between fermionic atoms strongly attractive, a fermionic superfluid was recently made, a feat that has drawn a lot of attention in the physics community and from the media. We present work that describes these many-particle systems near a Feshbach resonance in a comprehensive way by using the concept of dressed molecules. These dressed molecules are essentially two-particle states that are a superposition of a tightly bound bare molecule, and two unbound bare atoms. This description reduces to the correct paired wave-function in the two-body limit. Moreover it gives a physically correct description of all the phenomena mentioned above: the Bose-condensation of a gas near a Feshbach resonance, that contains molecules, is more correctly interpreted as a Bose-condensation of dressed molecules. The fermionic superfluid contains a condensate of bosonic pairs, normally called Cooper pairs, that can be understood as the dressed molecules. For the latter case, the dressed-molecule picture also gives an elegant characterization of the crossover between a Bose condensate of pure molecules on one side of the resonance, to a fermionic Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer superfluid on the other side. Then, the dressed molecules change continuously from being mostly a bare molecule, to being mostly a loose pair of two atoms. It is clear that the nature of the dressed molecules is much determined by the probability for it to be in the bare-molecular state. This probability we denote with a single parameter Z. We present various ways of calculating it, and study how it affects the macroscopic physics.

BCS – BEC crossover, collective excitations, and hydrodynamics of superfluid quantum liquids and gases

M. Yu. Kagan, Andrei V. Turlapov

Abstract A Fermi gas described within the Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer (BCS) theory can be converted into a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) of composite molecules (dimers) by adiabatically tuning the interaction. The sequence of states that emerge in the process of such a conversion is referred to as the BCS–BEC crossover. We here review the theoretical and experimental results obtained for the BCS–BEC crossover in three- and quasi-two-dimensional quantum gases in the limiting geometry of traps and on optical lattices. We discuss nontrivial phenomena in the hydrodynamics of superfluid quantum gases and fluids, including the collective excitation spectrum in the BCS–BEC crossover, the hydrodynamics of rotating Bose condensates containing a large number of quantized vortices, and the intriguing problem of the chiral anomaly in the hydrodynamics of superfluid Fermi systems with an anisotropic p-wave pairing. We also analyze spin-imbalanced quantum gases and the potential to realize the triplet p-wave pairing via the Kohn–Luttinger mechanism in those gases. Recent results on two-dimensional Fermi-gas preparation and the observation of fluctuation phenomena related to the Berezinskii–Kosterlitz–Thouless transition in those gases are also reviewed. We briefly discuss the recent experimental discovery of the BCS–BEC crossover and anomalous superconductivity in bilayer graphene and the role of graphene, other Dirac semimetals (for example, bismuth), and 2D optical lattices as potential reference systems that exhibit all of the effects reviewed here.

Dressed Feshbach Molecules in the BEC-BCS Crossover

M. W. J. Romans, Henk T. C. Stoof

We present the random phase approximation (RPA) theory of the Bose-Einstein-condensation-Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer crossover in an atomic Fermi gas near a Feshbach resonance that includes the relevant two-body atomic physics exactly. This allows us to determine the probability for the dressed molecules in the Bose-Einstein condensate to be in the closed channel of the Feshbach resonance and to compare with the recent experiments of Partridge et al. [95, 020404 (2005)10.1103/PhysRevLett.95.020404] with , who have measured the same quantity.
