The BCS–BEC Crossover

Meera M. Parish

This chapter presents the crossover from the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) state of weakly-correlated pairs of fermions to the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of diatomic molecules in the atomic Fermi gas. Our aim is to provide a pedagogical review of the BCS-BEC crossover, with an emphasis on the basic concepts, particularly those that are not generally known or are difficult to find in the literature. We shall not attempt to give an exhaustive survey of current research in the limited space here; where possible, we will direct the reader to more extensive reviews.

Derivation of Hydrodynamics for the Gapless Mode in the BEC-BCS Crossover from the Exact One-Loop Effective Action

Da-Shin Lee, Chi-Yong Lin, R. J. Rivers

We derive generalized two-superfluid continuity equations for the BEC-BCS crossover in the presence of a Feshbach resonance at T=0. In addition, we calculate the velocity of sound throughout both BCS and Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) regimes.

Broad vs. narrow Fano-Feshbach resonances in the BCS-BEC crossover with trapped Fermi atoms

Stefano Simonucci, P. Pieri, Giancarlo Calvanese Strinati

With reference to the broad and narrow Fano-Feshbach resonances of 6 Li at about 822 G and 543 G, we show that for the broad resonance a molecular coupled-channel calculation can be mapped with excellent accuracy onto an effective single-channel problem with a contact interaction. This occurs for a wide enough range of the magnetic field that the full BCS-BEC crossover can be realized with a typical trap. For the narrow resonance, the mapping onto a single-channel problem and the realization of the BCS-BEC crossover are restricted to too narrow a range of the magnetic field to obtain them in practice. A general criterion is also formulated for deciding whether the BCS-BEC crossover can be exhausted within the single-channel model for any specific Fano-Feshbach resonance. In this way, the BCS-BEC crossover for Fermi atoms with the broad resonance is placed on the same footing as the corresponding crossover for different physical systems.
