Abstract

By implementing perturbed quantum rewinding experiments in a weakly interacting Fermi gas, the authors illustrate the validity of a quasiclassical model of a large synthetic spin lattice with a collective Heisenberg Hamiltonian.

Energy-resolved spin correlation measurements: Decoding transverse spin dynamics in weakly interacting Fermi gases

J. Huang, John E. Thomas

The authors measure transverse spin correlations in energy space to uncover hidden spin dynamics in a weakly interacting Fermi gas. The correlation functions reveal the microscopic structure of a demagnetizing or magnetizing synthetic spin lattice, which models a collective Heisenberg Hamiltonian, and provide new observables for studies of transitions between dynamical phases.

Spin-energy correlation in degenerate weakly interacting Fermi gases

Saeed Pegahan, Jayampathi Kangara, Ilya Arakelyan +1 more

The time evolution of spin-energy correlations in a very weakly interacting Fermi gas of ${}^{6}$Li produces complex spin-density profiles, which are observed and quantitatively explained by a one-dimensional mean-field model. This system exhibits rich collective dynamics for exploring the interplay between spin, motion, Fermi statistics, and interactions in many-body systems.

Dynamics of Interacting Fermions in Spin-Dependent Potentials

Andrew Koller, Michael L. Wall, Joshua Mundinger +1 more

Recent experiments with dilute trapped Fermi gases observed that weak interactions can drastically modify spin transport dynamics and give rise to robust collective effects including global demagnetization, macroscopic spin waves, spin segregation, and spin self-rephasing. In this Letter, we develop a framework for studying the dynamics of weakly interacting fermionic gases following a spin-dependent change of the trapping potential which illuminates the interplay between spin, motion, Fermi statistics, and interactions. The key idea is the projection of the state of the system onto a set of lattice spin models defined on the single-particle mode space. Collective phenomena, including the global spreading of quantum correlations in real space, arise as a consequence of the long-ranged character of the spin model couplings. This approach achieves good agreement with prior measurements and suggests a number of directions for future experiments.

Two-dimensional Fermi Gas Revisited

Philip Warren Anderson

A number of authors have taken issue with the demonstration that the 2D Fermion gas with short-range repulsive interactions (and, of course, including spin) cannot be consistently treated as a renormalised quasiparticle system. This paper shows that the arguments given in some of these papers are invalid or irrelevant.

Many-Body Quantum Spin Dynamics with Monte Carlo Trajectories on a Discrete Phase Space

Johannes Schachenmayer, Alexander Pikovski, A. M. Rey

Following the time evolution of a large and high-dimensional quantum system is often computationally intractable. A new semiclassical method of modeling quantum dynamics yields surprisingly good results for nonequilibrium dynamics.

Collective Dynamical Fermi Suppression of Optically Induced Inelastic Scattering

Camen A. Royse, J. Huang, John E. Thomas

We observe strong dynamical suppression of optically induced loss in a weakly interacting Fermi gas as the s-wave scattering length is increased. A single trapped cigar-shaped cloud behaves as a large spin lattice in energy space with a tunable Heisenberg Hamiltonian. The loss suppression occurs as the lattice transitions into a magnetized state, where the fermionic nature of the atoms inhibits interactions. The data are quantitatively explained by incorporating spin-dependent loss into a quasiclassical collective spin vector model, the success of which enables the application of optical control of effective long-range interactions to this system.
