BCS BEC Unitary Gas

Outline 1)Nearly Fermionized 3D Bose Gases near Feshbach Resonance. Comparison to recent experiments. 2)Anomalous Dimers and Trimers in a Quantum Mixture near Resonance ---- the role of multiple scattering, Fermi surface and Fermi surface dynamics.

Bose Gas near Feshbach Resonance (Upper Branch) Binding energy B Bose Gases: Rb: JILA (Jin & Cornell’s group, 2008); Li: Rice Hulet’s group, Li: Salamon’s group, 2011 Na: MIT Ketterle’s group, Fermi Gases MIT Ketterle’s group, 2009.

Possible approaches to a Bose gas at large scattering lengths 1)Diagrammatic and similar approaches (developed in ; 1960s for small scattering lengths or hardcore bosons) 2) Monte Carlo simulations of a quantum Bose gas with attractive interactions in the upper branch haven’t been successful. 3) Monte Carlo simulations of the ground state of hardcore bosons (?).

Dilute Bose Gases Lee-Yang-Huang (56; 57-58) and Beliaev (58) And is valid for small scattering lengths. There have been efforts to improve LYH-Beliaev theory by taking into the higher order contributions. (Wu, Sawada, 59;….. Braatten, 02…) At infinity a, each term diverges.

Lee-Yang-Huang effect: An alternative view based on two-body physics

2body spectrum in 3D Trap a=0 Resonance a=0

Scaling dimensions of interaction energy for two atoms in a trap of size L (kinetic energy ~ 1/L^2.) (Near Resonances)

Renormalization-group-equation approach

RG flow

Near resonance

Comparison of 2-body wavefunctions 1) dashed Blue---fermion; 2) Thin Red---far away resonance; 3) Thick red---at resonance.

Constrained variation approach General features 1)At long wavelengths there should be gapless excitations of Bogoliubov type; 2) At short distance, the two-particle scattering state is universal.

Density Profile and Size of Condensates

Blue Data from Pollack et al., Phys. Rev.Lett. 102, (2010)

Navon et al., ArXiv (2011). (7Li, ENS) a=2500Bohr. Chemical potential about 44% of the Fermi energy.

Previous Results Jastrow-wavefunction approach (Cowell et al., 2002) indicates a quantum phase transition at a finite scattering length and the chemical potential is 2.93 times of the Fermi energy. Quantum Mont Carlo (Giorgini et al, 1999) had a convergence problem near resonance (due to instability).

Relation to the estimate of liquid Helium condensation fraction (C.F.) R/d C.F.=50% a/d ~1 C.F.=8 % (Onsager and Penrose, 56) ?? V<0 V>0

Validity/Relevance to experiments Although the role of Efimov physics remains to be understood, our results appear to suggest a reasonable qualitative picture and even a quantitative estimate of the sizes of condensates near resonances. Conjecture: In some cold Bose gases studied in labs, the atoms which have developed non-trivial three-body correlations and which are not captured by our descriptions might have recombined quickly and left the trap before the rest of atoms become self- thermalized and probed in measurements?

Conclusions 1) Cold gases near resonances have fascinating/surprising properties. 3D Bose gases near resonance are nearly Fermionized analogous to 1D dilute Tonks-Girardeau gas. 2) Anomalous dimers and trimers in a quantum gas can have very distinct structures and dynamics which have yet to be better understood. ----work in progress.
