We present a theory of spinor superfluidity in a two-species heteronuclear ultracold fermionic atomic gas consisting of arbitrary half-integer spin and one-half spin atoms. In particular, we focus on the magnetism of the superfluid phase and determine the possible phases in the absence of a magnetic field. Our work demonstrates similarities between heteronuclear fermionic superfluids and spinor Bose-Einstein condensates at the mean-field level. Possible experimental situations are discussed.

We study the behavior of a moving wall in contact with a particle gas and subjected to an external force. We compare the fluctuations of the system observed in the microcanonical and canonical ensembles, at varying the number of particles. Static and dynamic correlations signal significant differences between the two ensembles. Furthermore, velocity-velocity correlations of the moving wall present a complex two-time relaxation which cannot be reproduced by a standard Langevin-like description. Quite remarkably, increasing the number of gas particles in an elongated geometry, we find a typical timescale, related to the interaction between the partitioning wall and the particles, which grows macroscopically.
Experimental advances in condensed matter physics and material science have enabled ready access to atomic-resolution images, with resolution of modern tools often sufficient to extract minute details of symmetry-breaking distortions such as polarization, octahedra tilts, or other structure-coupled order parameters. The patterns of observed distortions in turn contain the information on microscopic driving forces defining the development of materials microstructure and associated thermodynamics. However, the analysis of underpinning physical models from experimentally observed microscopic degrees of freedom remains a largely unresolved issue. Here, we explore such an approach using the paradigmatic Ising model on a square lattice. We show that the microscopic parameters of the Ising model both for ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic case can be extracted from the spin configurations for temperatures an order of magnitude higher than the phase transition and perform uncertainty analysis for such reconstructions. This suggests that microscopic observations of materials with sufficiently high precision can provide information on generative physics at temperatures well above corresponding phase transition, opening new horizons for scientific exploration via high-resolution imaging.
Systems with interacting degrees of freedom play a prominent role in stochastic thermodynamics. Our aim is to use the concept of detached path probabilities and detached entropy production for bipartite Markov processes and elaborate on a series of special cases including measurement-feedback systems, sensors and hidden Markov models. For these special cases we show that fluctuation theorems involving the detached entropy production recover known results which have been obtained separately before. Additionally, we show that the fluctuation relation for the detached entropy production can be used in model selection for data stemming from a hidden Markov model. We discuss the relation to previous approaches including those which use information flow or learning rate to quantify the influence of one subsystem on the other. In conclusion, we present a complete framework with which to find fluctuation relations for coupled systems.
We measure the renormalized effective mass (m*) of interacting two-dimensional electrons confined to an AlAs quantum well while we control their distribution between two spin and two valley subbands. We observe a marked contrast between the spin and valley degrees of freedom: When electrons occupy two spin subbands, m* strongly depends on the valley occupation, but not vice versa. Combining our m* data with the measured spin and valley susceptibilities, we find that the renormalized effective Lande g-factor strongly depends on valley occupation, but the renormalized conduction-band deformation potential is nearly independent of the spin occupation.
We consider the problem of the control of transport in higher dimensional periodic structures by applied ac fields. In a generic crystal, transverse degrees of freedom are coupled, and this makes the control of motion difficult to implement. We show, both with simulations and with an analytical functional expansion on the driving amplitudes, that the use of quasiperiodic driving significantly suppresses the coupling between transverse degrees of freedom. This allows a precise control of the transport, and does not require a detailed knowledge of the crystal geometry.
