We report on the deterministic preparation of antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin chains consisting of up to four fermionic atoms in a one-dimensional trap. These chains are stabilized by strong repulsive interactions between the two spin components without the need for an external periodic potential. We independently characterize the spin configuration of the chains by measuring the spin orientation of the outermost particle in the trap and by projecting the spatial wave function of one spin component on single-particle trap levels. Our results are in good agreement with a spin-chain model for fermionized particles and with numerically exact diagonalizations of the full few-fermion system.

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.
Cold atom experiments can now realize mixtures where different components move in different spatial dimensions. We investigate a fermion mixture where one species is constrained to move along a one-dimensional lattice embedded in a two-dimensional la
ttice populated by another species of fermions, and where all bare interactions are contact interactions. By focusing on the one-dimensional fermions, we map this problem onto a model of fermions with non-local interactions on a chain. The effective interaction is mediated by the two-dimensional fermions and is both attractive and retarded, the form of which can be varied by changing the density of the two-dimensional fermions. By using the functional renormalization group in the weak-coupling and adiabatic limit, we show that the one-dimensional fermions can be controlled to be in various density-wave, or spin-singlet or triplet superconducting phases.
Using a numerical implementation of the truncated Wigner approximation, we simulate the experiment reported by Ramanathan et al. in Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 130401 (2011), in which a Bose-Einstein condensate is created in a toroidal trap and set into ro
tation via a phase imprinting technique. A potential barrier is then placed in the trap to study the decay of the superflow. We find that the current decays via thermally activated phase slips, which can also be visualized as vortices crossing the barrier region in the radial direction. Adopting the notion of critical velocity used in the experiment, we determine it to be lower than the local speed of sound at the barrier, in contradiction to the predictions of the zero-temperature Gross-Pitaevskii equation. We map out the superfluid decay rate and critical velocity as a function of temperature and observe a strong dependence. Thermal fluctuations offer a partial explanation of the experimentally observed reduction of the critical velocity from the phonon velocity.
Motivated by recent experimental development, we investigate spin-orbit coupled repulsive Fermi atoms in a one-dimensional optical lattice. Using the density-matrix renormalization group method, we calculate momentum distribution function, gap, and s
pin-correlation function to reveal rich ground-state properties. We find that spin-orbit coupling (SOC) can generate unconventional momentum distribution, which depends crucially on the filling. We call the corresponding phase with zero gap the SOC-induced metallic phase. We also show that SOC can drive the system from the antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic Mott insulators with spin rotating. As a result, a second-order quantum phase transition between the spin-rotating ferromagnetic Mott insulator and the SOC-induced metallic phase is predicted at the strong SOC. Here the spin rotating means that the spin orientations of the nearest-neighbor sites are not parallel or antiparallel, i.e., they have an intersection angle $theta in (0,pi )$. Finally, we show that the momentum $k_{mathrm{peak}}$, at which peak of the spin-structure factor appears, can also be affected dramatically by SOC. The analytical expression of this momentum with respect to the SOC strength is also derived. It suggests that the predicted spin-rotating ferromagnetic ($k_{mathrm{peak}% }<pi /2$) and antiferromagnetic ($pi /2<k_{mathrm{peak}}<pi $) correlations can be detected experimentally by measuring the SOC-dependent spin-structure factor via the time-of-flight imaging.
The density distribution of the one-dimensional Hubbard model in a harmonic trapping potential is investigated in order to study the effect of the confining trap. Strong superimposed oscillations are always present on top of a uniform density cloud,
which show universal scaling behavior as a function of increasing interactions. An analytical formula is proposed on the basis of bosonization, which describes the density oscillations for all interaction strengths. The wavelength of the dominant oscillation changes with interaction, which indicates the crossover to a spin-incoherent regime. Using the Bethe ansatz the shape of the uniform fermion cloud is analyzed in detail, which can be described by a universal scaling form.
