Efimov physics in two nuclear-spin sublevels of bosonic lithium is studied and it is shown that the positions and widths of recombination minima and Efimov resonances are identical for both states within the experimental errors which indicates that the short-range physics is nuclear-spin independent. We also find that the Efimov features are universally related across Feshbach resonances. These results crucially depend on careful mapping between the scattering length and the applied magnetic field which we achieve by characterization of the two broad Feshbach resonances in the different states by means of rf-spectroscopy of weakly bound molecules. By fitting the binding energies numerically with a coupled channels calculation we precisely determine the absolute positions of the Feshbach resonances and the values of the singlet and triplet scattering lengths.

We study the two-body and three-body bound states in ultracold atomic mixtures with one of the atoms subjected to an isotropic spin-orbit (SO) coupling. We consider a system of two identical fermions interacting with one SO coupled atom. It is found that there can exist two types of three-body bound states, Efimov trimers and universal trimers. The Efimov trimers are energetically less favored by the SO coupling, which will finally merge into the atom-dimer threshold as increasing the SO coupling strength. Nevertheless, these trimers exhibit a new kind of discrete scaling law incorporating the SO coupling effect. On the other hand, the universal trimers are more favored by the SO coupling. They can be induced at negative s-wave scattering lengths and with smaller mass ratios than those without SO coupling. These results are obtained by both the Born-Oppenheimer approximation and exact solutions from three-body equations.
Universal behaviour has been found inside the window of Efimov physics for systems with $N=4,5,6$ particles. Efimov physics refers to the emergence of a number of three-body states in systems of identical bosons interacting {it via} a short-range int eraction becoming infinite at the verge of binding two particles. These Efimov states display a discrete scale invariance symmetry, with the scaling factor independent of the microscopic interaction. Their energies in the limit of zero-range interaction can be parametrized, as a function of the scattering length, by a universal function. We have found, using a particular form of finite-range scaling, that the same universal function can be used to parametrize the energies of $Nle6$ systems inside the Efimov-physics window. Moreover, we show that the same finite-scale analysis reconciles experimental measurements of three-body binding energies with the universal theory.
Physical systems characterized by a shallow two-body bound or virtual state are governed at large distances by a continuous-scale invariance, which is broken to a discrete one when three or more particles come into play. This symmetry induces a unive rsal behavior for different systems, independent of the details of the underlying interaction, rooted in the smallness of the ratio $ell/a_B ll 1$, where the length $a_B$ is associated to the binding energy of the two-body system $E_2=hbar^2/m a_B^2$ and $ell$ is the natural length given by the interaction range. Efimov physics refers to this universal behavior, which is often hidden by the on-set of system-specific non-universal effects. In this work we identify universal properties by providing an explicit link of physical systems to their unitary limit, in which $a_Brightarrowinfty$, and show that nuclear systems belong to this class of universality.
Since the Efimov effect was introduced in 1970, a detailed theoretical understanding of Efimov physics has been developed in the few-body context. However, it has proven to be challenging to describe the role Efimov-type correlations play in many-bod y systems such as quenched or collapsing Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). To study the impact the Efimov effect can have in such scenarios, we consider a light impurity immersed in a weakly interacting BEC, forming a Bose polaron. In this case, the higher-order correlations are localized around the impurity, making it more feasible to develop a theoretical description. Specifically, we employ a Gaussian state variational Ansatz in the reference frame of the impurity, capable of both capturing the Efimov effect and the formation of the polaron cloud. We find that the Efimov effect leads to a cooperative binding of bosons to the impurity and the formation of a many-body bound state. As a result, the polaron is not the ground state, but rendered a metastable excited state which can decay into these Efimov clusters. While this decay is slow for small interaction strengths, it becomes more prominent as the attractive scattering length increases, up to the point where the polaron becomes completely unstable. This critical scattering length can be interpreted as a many-body shifted Efimov resonance, where the scattering of two excitations of the bath with the polaron can lead to bound state formation. Compared to the few-body case, the resonance is shifted to smaller attractive scattering lengths due to the participation of the polaron cloud in the cooperative binding process. This corresponds to an intriguing scenario of polaron-assisted chemistry, where many-body effects lead to enhanced signal of the chemical recombination process, which can be directly probed in state-of-the-art experiments.

We study the effect of the coupling between the electronic ground state of high spin alkaline-earth fermionic atoms and their metastable optically excited state, when the system is confined in a one-dimensional chain, and show that the system provide s a possible realization of a finite momentum pairing (Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov-like) state without spin- or bare mass imbalance. We determine the $beta$-functions of the renormalization group trajectories for general spin and analyze the structure of the possible gapped and gapless states in the hydrodynamic limit. Due to the SU(N) symmetry in the spin space, complete mode separation can not be observed even in the fully gapless 2N-component Luttinger liquid state. Contrary, 4 velocities characterize the system. We solve the renormalization group equations for spin-9/2 strontium-87 isotope and analyze in detail its phase diagram. The fully gapless Luttinger liquid state does not stabilize in the two-orbital system of the $^{87}$Sr atoms, instead, different gapped non-Gaussian fixed points are identified either with dominant density or superconducting fluctuations. The superconducting states are stable in a nontrivial shaped region in the parameter space as a consequence of the coupling between the two electronic states.
