We show that the maximum population imbalance ratio $P_mathrm{CC}$ for a two-component Fermi gas near the unitarity limit to condense does not increase with the trap aspect ratio $lambda$, by two methods of 1) solving the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations with coupling-constant renormalization, and 2) studying the pairing susceptibility by the real-space self-consistent $T$-matrix approximation. The deviation of the cloud shape from what is expected from the trap shape increases but stays minor with increasing $lambda$ up to 50. This finding indicates that despite the apparent discrepancy between the MIT and Rice experiments over the value of $P_mathrm{CC}$ and the validity of local density approximation, the equilibrium state of the system for the aspect ratio in the Rice experiment should be consistent with that of MIT.

We study population imbalanced Fermi mixtures under quasi-two-dimensional confinement at zero temperature. Using mean-field theory and the local-density approximation, we study the ground state configuration throughout the BEC-BCS crossover. We find the trapped system to be either fully normal or to consist of a superfluid core surrounded by a normal shell, which is itself either fully or partially polarized. Upon changing the trap imbalance, the trap configuration may undergo continuous transitions between the different ground states. Finally, we argue that thermal equilibration throughout the trap will be considerably slowed down at low temperatures when a superfluid phase is present.
We model the superfluid flow of liquid helium over the rough surface of a wire (used to experimentally generate turbulence) profiled by atomic force microscopy. Numerical simulations of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation reveal that the sharpest features in the surface induce vortex nucleation both intrinsically (due to the raised local fluid velocity) and extrinsically (providing pinning sites to vortex lines aligned with the flow). Vortex interactions and reconnections contribute to form a dense turbulent layer of vortices with a non-classical average velocity profile which continually sheds small vortex rings into the bulk. We characterise this layer for various imposed flows. As boundary layers conventionally arise from viscous forces, this result opens up new insight into the nature of superflows.
Flexural mode vibrations of miniature piezoelectric tuning forks (TF) are known to be highly sensitive to superfluid excitations and quantum turbulence in $mathrm{^3He}$ and $mathrm{^4He}$ quantum fluids, as well as to the elastic properties of solid $mathrm{^4He}$, complementing studies by large scale torsional resonators. Here we explore the sensitivity of a TF, capable of simultaneously operating in both the flexural and torsional modes, to excitations in the normal and superfluid $mathrm{^4He}$. The torsional mode is predominantly sensitive to shear forces at the sensor - fluid interface and much less sensitive to changes in the density of the surrounding fluid when compared to the flexural mode. Although we did not reach the critical velocity for quantum turbulence onset in the torsional mode, due to its order of magnitude higher frequency and increased acoustic damping, the torsional mode was directly sensitive to fluid excitations, linked to quantum turbulence created by the flexural mode. The combination of two dissimilar modes in a single TF sensor can provide a means to study the details of elementary excitations in quantum liquids, and at interfaces between solids and quantum fluid.

We revisited the phase diagram of the second layer of 4He on top of graphite using quantum Monte Carlo methods. Our aim was to explore the existence of the novel phases suggested recently in experimental works, and determine their properties and stab ility limits. We found evidence of a superfluid quantum phase with hexatic correlations, induced by the corrugation of the first Helium layer, and a quasi-two-dimensional supersolid corresponding to a 7/12 registered phase. The 4/7 commensurate solid was found to be unstable, while the triangular incommensurate crystals, stable at large densities, were normal.
We determine the energy density $xi (3/5) n epsilon_F$ and the gradient correction $lambda hbar^2( abla n)^2/(8m n)$ of the extended Thomas-Fermi (ETF) density functional, where $n$ is number density and $epsilon_F$ is Fermi energy, for a trapped two -components Fermi gas with infinite scattering length (unitary Fermi gas) on the basis of recent diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) calculations [Phys. Rev. Lett. {bf 99}, 233201 (2007)]. In particular we find that $xi=0.455$ and $lambda=0.13$ give the best fit of the DMC data with an even number $N$ of particles. We also study the odd-even splitting $gamma N^{1/9} hbar omega$ of the ground-state energy for the unitary gas in a harmonic trap of frequency $omega$ determining the constant $gamma$. Finally we investigate the effect of the gradient term in the time-dependent ETF model by introducing generalized Galilei-invariant hydrodynamics equations.
