An imposed chemical potential gradient $A_uparrow=dmu_uparrow/dx$ on a single fermionic species (spin up) directly produces a gradient in the density $drho_uparrow/dx$ across a lattice. We study here the induced density inhomogeneity $drho_downarrow/dx$ in the second fermionic species (spin down) which results from fermionic interactions $U$, even in the absence of a chemical potential gradient $A_downarrow=0$ on that species. The magnitude of $drho_downarrow/dx$ acquired by the second species grows with $U$, while the magnitude of $drho_uparrow/dx$ remains relatively constant, that is, set only by $A_uparrow$. For a given $A_uparrow$, we find an interaction strength $U_*$ above which the two density gradients are equal in magnitude. We also evaluate the spin-spin correlations and show that, as expected, antiferromagnetism is most dominant at locations where the local density is half-filled. The spin polarization induced by sufficiently large gradients, in combination with $U$, drives ferromagnetic behavior. In the case of repulsive interactions, $drho_downarrow/dx = -drho_uparrow/dx$. A simple particle-hole transformation determines the related effect in the case of attractive interactions.

It is known from the solution of the two-body problem that an anisotropic dipolar interaction can give rise to s-wave scattering resonances, which are named as dipolar interaction induced resonaces (DIIR). In this letter, we study zero-temperature ma ny-body physics of a two-component Fermi gas across a DIIR. In the low-density regime, it is very striking that the resulting pairing order parameter is a nearly isotropic singlet pairing and the physics can be well described by an s-wave resonant interaction potential with finite range corrections, despite of the anisotropic nature of dipolar interaction. The pairing energy is as strong as a unitary Fermi gas nearby a magnetic Feshbach resonance. In the high density regime, the anisotropic effect plays an important role. We find phase transitions from singlet pairing to a state with mixed singlet and triplet pairing, and then from mixed pairing to pure triplet pairing. The state with mixed pairing spontaneously breaks the time-reversal symmetry.

The effect of a sinusoidal modulation of the interaction strength on a fermion-pair condensate is analytically studied. The system is described by a generalization of the coupled fermion-boson model that incorporates a time-dependent intermode coupli ng induced via a magnetic Feshbach resonance. Nontrivial effects are shown to emerge depending on the relative magnitude of the modulation period and the relaxation time of the condensate. Specifically, a nonadiabatic modulation drives the system out of thermal equilibrium: the external field induces a variation of the quasiparticle energies, and, in turn, a disequilibrium of the associated populations. The subsequent relaxation process is studied and an analytical description of the gap dynamics is obtained. Recent experimental findings are explained: the delay observed in the response to the applied field is understood as a temperature effect linked to the condensate relaxation time.

The study of superconductivity with unconventional order is complicated in condensed matter systems by their extensive complexity. Optical lattices with their exceptional precision and control allow one to emulate superfluidity avoiding many of the c omplications of condensed matter. A promising approach to realize unconventional superfluid order is to employ orbital degrees of freedom in higher Bloch bands. In recent work, indications were found that bosons condensed in the second band of an optical chequerboard lattice might exhibit p_x pm i p_y order. Here we present experiments, which provide strong evidence for the emergence of p_x pm i p_y order driven by the interaction in the local p-orbitals. We compare our observations with a multi-band Hubbard model and find excellent quantitative agreement.

Dissipation is introduced to a strongly interacting ultracold bosonic gas in the Mott-insulator regime of a 3D spin-dependent optical lattice. A weakly interacting superfluid comprised of atoms in a state that does not experience the lattice potentia l acts as a dissipative bath coupled to the lattice atoms via collisions. Lattice atoms are excited to higher-energy bands via Bragg transitions, and the resulting bath-induced decay is measured using the atomic quasimomentum distribution. A competing but slower intrinsic decay mechanism arising from collisions between lattice atoms is also investigated. The measured bath-induced decay rate is compared with the predictions of a weakly interacting model with no free parameters. The presence of intrinsic decay, which cannot be accommodated within this framework, signals that strong interactions may play a central role in the lattice-atom dynamics.
We systematically investigate the ground state and elementary excitations of a Bose-Einstein Condensate with a synthetic vector potential, which is induced by the many-body effects and atom-light coupling. For a sufficiently strong inter-atom interac tion, we find the condensate undergoes a Stoner-type ferromagnetic transition through the self-consistent coupling with the vector potential. For a weak interaction, the critical velocity of a supercurrent is found anisotropic due to the density fluctuations affecting the gauge field. We further analytically demonstrate the topological ground state with a coreless vortex ring in a 3D harmonic trap and a coreless vortex-antivortex pair in a 2D trap. The circulating persistent current is measurable in the time-of-flight experiment or in the dipolar oscillation through the violation of Kohn theorem.
