Interacting Fermi Gases
Interacting Fermi gases are one of the chief paradigms of condensed matter physics. They have been studied since the beginning of the development of quantum mechanics, but continue to produce surprises today. Recent experimental developments in the field of ultracold atomic gases, as well as …

Quasi-One-Dimensional Ultracold Fermi Gases
… the lowest two ground state hyperfine levels of fermionic lithium. Having two different states creates a pseudo-spin-1/2 system and allows us to emulate electronic systems, such as superconductors and crystal lattices. In our experiment, we can control the ratio between these two states resulting …

Low Energy Excitations of 1D Fermi Gases
Fermions in one dimension are vastly different from their higher-dimension counterparts. At the same time, many theoretical models in one dimension have the luxury of being integrable and exactly solvable, which makes them excellent test beds for quantum simulation. In using these test beds, we can …

Experiments with interacting Bose and Fermi gases
In the past few years, the study of trapped fermionic atoms evolved from the first cooling experiments which produced quantum degenerate samples to becoming one of the most exciting branches of current atomic physics research. This thesis covers experiments done throughout this period, which can be …

Communal pairing in Fermi gases with attractive interactions
Weak attractive interactions in a spin-balanced fermion gas are known to induce a Cooper pairing instability where the fermion pairs have zero net momentum, leading to BCS superconductivity. Extensions for spin-imbalanced systems include breached superfluids, Fulde–Ferrell–Larkin–Ovchinnikov …

Thermodynamic and hydrodynamic behaviour of interacting Fermi gases
Fermionic matter is ubiquitous in nature, from the electrons in metals and semiconductors or the neutrons in the inner crust of neutron stars, to gases of fermionic atoms, like 40K or 6Li that can be created and studied under laboratory conditions. It is especially interesting to study these …

Pairing and superfluidity in strongly interacting Fermi gases
… with superfluid spin mixtures of ultracold fermionic 6Li atoms. The properties of the strongly interacting gas are studied in the crossover regime between Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of two-body bound molecules and a Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) superfluid of pairs bound by many-body …

Radio-frequency spectroscopy of ultracold atomic Fermi gases
… the phase diagram of ultracold atomic Fermi gases using radio-frequency spectroscopy. The tunability of many experimental parameters including the temperature, the interparticle interaction strength and the relative population of different Fermions allows to access very different …

Quantum Transport and Scale Invariance in Expanding Fermi Gases
… in the hydrodynamic expansion of a two-component Fermi gas near a broad collisional (Feshbach) resonance. This expansion also provides a precise test of scale invariance and an examination of local thermal equilibrium as a function of interaction strength. After release from an anisotropic optical …

Transport and disorder-induced localization of ultracold Fermi gases
… study localization and dynamics of ultracold fermions in speckle and optical lattice potentials to explore Anderson localization, many-body localization, and relaxation dynamics in strongly correlated systems. Anderson localization is probed by releasing non-interacting, spin-polarized gases …

Strongly Interacting Fermi Gases, Radio Frequency Spectroscopy and Universality
… BEC-BCS crossover problem in the dilute atomic gases frm a general point of view. We show that as a result of the specific properties of the ultra-cold Fermi gases, there exists a universal function which incorporates all the many-body information of the system. Although we do not yet know how …

Strongly interacting Fermi gases : non-equilibrium dynamics and dimensional crossover
Experiments using ultracold atomic gases address fundamental problems in many-body physics. This thesis describes experiments on strongly-interacting gases of fermionic atoms, with a focus on non-equilibrium physics and dimensionality. One of the fundamental dissipative processes in two-component …

Quantum transport in strongly interacting, ultracold fermi gases in box potentials
Transport of strongly interacting fermions is crucial for systems as varied as high-𝑇 subscript 𝑐 superconductors, twisted bi-layer graphene, nuclear fission, and neutron stars. In this thesis, I will describe the experiments we performed to measure the transport properties of a …

Searching For FFLO States in Ultracold Polarized Fermi Gases: A Numerical Approach
Ultracold atomic gases have emerged as an ideal laboratory system to emulate many-body physics in an unprecedentedly controllable manner. Numerous many-body quantum states and phases have been experimentally explored and characterized using the ultracold atomic gases, offering new insights into …

Study of the properties of dilute Fermi gases in the strongly interacting regime
Quantum degenerate Fermi gases can be created in the laboratories using alkali atoms. These gases can be in different regimes of density and interaction strength and provide an ideal test bed for the basic properties of the quantum and statistical mechanics. Also some astrophysical objects such as …
