Thermodynamic properties of an ultracold Fermi gas in a harmonic trap are calculated within a local density approximation, using a conserving many-body formalism for the BCS to BEC crossover problem, which has been developed by Haussmann et al. [Phys. Rev. A 75, 023610 (2007)]. We focus on the unitary regime near a Feshbach resonance and determine the local density and entropy profiles and the global entropy S(E) as a function of the total energy E. Our results are in good agreement with both experimental data and previous analytical and numerical results for the thermodynamics of the unitary Fermi gas. The value of the Bertsch parameter at T=0 and the superfluid transition temperature, however, differ appreciably. We show that, well in the superfluid regime, removal of atoms near the cloud edge enables cooling far below temperatures that have been reached so far.

We study the evolution of the energy gap in a unitary Fermi gas as a function of temperature. To this end we approximate the Fermi gas by the Hubbard lattice Hamiltonian and solve using the dynamical mean-field approximation. We have found that below
the critical temperature, Tc, the system is a superfluid and the energy gap is decreasing monotonously. For temperatures above Tc the system is an insulator and the corresponding energy gap is monotonously increasing.
We propose a phenomenological approach for the equation of state of a unitary Fermi gas. The universal equation of state is parametrised in terms of Fermi-Dirac integrals. This reproduces the experimental data over the accessible range of fugacity an
d normalised temperature, but cannot describe the superfluid phase transition found in the MIT experiment cite{ku}. The most sensitive data for compressibility and specific heat at phase transition can, however, befitted by introducing into the grand partition function a pair of complex conjugate zeros lying in the complex fugacity plane slightly off the real axis.
A unitary Fermi gas has a surprisingly rich spectrum of large amplitude modes of the pairing field alone, which defies a description within a formalism involving only a reduced set of degrees of freedom, such as quantum hydrodynamics or a Landau-Ginz
burg-like description. These modes are very slow, with oscillation frequencies well below the pairing gap, which makes their damping through quasiparticle excitations quite ineffective. In atomic traps these modes couple naturally with the density oscillations, and the corresponding oscillations of the atomic cloud are an example of a new type of collective mode in superfluid Fermi systems. They have lower frequencies than the compressional collective hydrodynamic oscillations, have a non-spherical momentum distribution, and could be excited by a quick time variation of the scattering length.
We present a systematic comparison of the most recent thermodynamic measurements of a trapped Fermi gas at unitarity with predictions from strong coupling theories and quantum Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. The accuracy of the experimental data, of th
e order of a few percent, allows a precise test of different many-body approaches. We find that a Nozieres and Schmitt-Rink treatment of fluctuations is in excellent agreement with the experimental data and available MC calculations at unitarity.
We calculate the one-body temperature Greens (Matsubara) function of the unitary Fermi gas via Quantum Monte Carlo, and extract the spectral weight function $A(p,omega)$ using the methods of maximum entropy and singular value decomposition. From $A(p
,omega)$ we determine the quasiparticle spectrum, which can be accurately parametrized by three functions of temperature: an effective mass $m^*$, a mean-field potential $U$, and a gap $Delta$. Below the critical temperature $T_c=0.15varepsilon_F$ the results for $m^*$, $U$ and $Delta$ can be accurately reproduced using an independent quasiparticle model. We find evidence of a pseudogap in the fermionic excitation spectrum for temperatures up to {$T^*approx 0.20varepsilon_{F} > T_c$}.
