Weyl superfluidity in a three-dimensional dipolar Fermi gas.

چکیده
Weyl superconductivity or superfluidity, a fascinating topological state of matter, features novel phenomena such as emergent Weyl fermionic excitations and anomalies. Here we report that an anisotropic Weyl superfluid state can arise as a low temperature stable phase in a 3D dipolar Fermi gas. A crucial ingredient of our model is a direction-dependent two-body effective attraction generated by a rotating external field. Experimental signatures are predicted for cold gases in radio-frequency spectroscopy. The finite temperature phase diagram of this system is studied and the transition temperature of the Weyl superfluidity is found to be within the experimental scope for atomic dipolar Fermi gases.

Dirac and Weyl rings in three-dimensional cold-atom optical lattices
Recently three-dimensional topological quantum materials with gapless energy spectra have attracted considerable interest in many branches of physics. Besides the celebrated example, Dirac and Weyl points which possess gapless point structures in the underlying energy dispersion, the topologically protected gapless spectrum, can also occur along a ring, named Dirac and Weyl nodal rings. Ultraco...
متن کاملQuantum Dipolar Gases in Boson or Fermion Flavor
At extremely low temperatures, the properties of an atomic gas of bosons (atoms with integer spin) are dramatically different from those of a gas of fermions (atoms with half-integer spin). A confined gas of bosons can be cooled into a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), where all of the atoms fall into the same quantum mechanical state to form a macroscopic matter-wave. Fermionic atoms, however, a...
متن کاملBifermionic Superfluidity in Toroidal Optical Lattices
We consider a gas of neutral fermions trapped in a specific optical trap that provides a tight confinement of a Fermi gas in a torus with a potential periodic along the azimuthal direction. The effective model is interacting fermions moving in a periodic potential along the ring. We show that the model demonstrates a novel type of superfluidity different from the BCS mechanism. This pure 1D qua...
متن کاملIntermediate-temperature superfluidity in an atomic fermi gas with population imbalance.
We derive the underlying finite temperature theory which describes Fermi gas superfluidity with population imbalance in a homogeneous system. We compute the pair formation temperature, superfluid transition temperature Tc, and superfluid density in a manner consistent with the standard ground state equations and, thereby, present a complete phase diagram. Finite temperature stabilizes superflui...
متن کاملSuper-Tonks-Girardeau state in an attractive one-dimensional dipolar gas.
The ground state of a one-dimensional (1D) quantum gas of dipoles oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, with a strong 1/x(3) repulsive potential, is studied at low 1D densities n. Near contact the dependence of the many-body wave function on the separation x(jℓ) of two particles reduces to a two-body wave function Ψ(rel)(x(jℓ)). Immediately after a sudden rotation of the dipoles so t...
