Temperature Dependence of the Universal Contact Parameter in a Unitary Fermi Gas

Journal Article Kuhnle, E D ; Hoinka, S ; Dyke, P ; ... - Physical Review Letters

The contact I, introduced by Tan, has emerged as a key parameter characterizing universal properties of strongly interacting Fermi gases. For ultracold Fermi gases near a Feshbach resonance, the contact depends upon two quantities: the interaction parameter 1/(k{sub F}a), where k{sub F} is the Fermi wave vector and a is the s-wave scattering length, and the temperature T/T{sub F}, where T{sub F} is the Fermi temperature. We present the first measurements of the temperature dependence of the contact in a unitary Fermi gas using Bragg spectroscopy. The contact is seen to follow the predicted decay with temperature and shows howmore »« less

Contact in the Unitary Fermi Gas across the Superfluid Phase Transition

Journal Article Jensen, S. ; Gilbreth, C. N. ; Alhassid, Y. - Physical Review Letters

A quantity known as the contact is a fundamental thermodynamic property of quantum many-body systems with short-range interactions. Determination of the temperature dependence of the contact for the unitary Fermi gas of infinite scattering length has been a major challenge, with different calculations yielding qualitatively different results. Here we use finite-temperature auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (AFMC) methods on the lattice within the canonical ensemble to calculate the temperature dependence of the contact for the homogeneous spin-balanced unitary Fermi gas. We extrapolate to the continuum limit for 40, 66, and 114 particles, eliminating systematic errors due to finite-range effects. We observemore »« less

Contact interaction in an unitary ultracold Fermi gas

Journal Article Pessoa, Renato ; Gandolfi, Stefano ; Vitiello, S. A. ; ... - Physical Review A - Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics

An ultracold Fermi atomic gas at unitarity presents universal properties that in the dilute limit can be well described by a contact interaction. By employing a guiding function with correct boundary conditions and making simple modifications to the sampling procedure we are able to calculate the properties of a true contact interaction with the diffusion Monte Carlo method. The results are obtained with small variances. Our calculations for the Bertsch and contact parameters are in excellent agreement with published experiments. The possibility of using a more faithful description of ultracold atomic gases can help uncover additional features of ultracold atomicmore »« less

Momentum distribution of a trapped Fermi gas with large scattering length

Journal Article Viverit, L ; Dipartimento di Fisica Universita di Milano, via Celoria 16, I-20122 Milan ; Giorgini, S ; ... - Physical Review. A

Using a scattering length parametrization of the crossover from a BCS state to a Bose-Einstein condensate as well as the local density approximation for the density profile, we calculate the momentum distribution of a harmonically trapped atomic Fermi gas at zero temperature. Various interaction regimes are considered, including the BCS phase, the unitarity limit, and the molecular regime. We show that the relevant parameter which characterizes the crossover is given by the dimensionless combination N{sup 1/6}a/a{sub ho}, where N is the number of atoms, a is the scattering length, and a{sub ho} is the oscillator length. The width of themore »« less
