Reconnecting vortices in a superfluid allow for the energy transfer between different length scales and its subsequent dissipation. The present picture assumes that the dynamics of a reconnection is driven mostly by the phase of the order parameter, and this statement can be justified in the case of Bose-Einstein Condensates (BECs), where vortices have a simple internal structure. Therefore, it is natural to postulate that the reconnection dynamics in the vicinity of the reconnection moment is universal. This expectation has been confirmed in numerical simulations for BECs and experimentally for the superfluid ${}^4$He. Not much has been said about this relation in the context of Fermi superfluids. In this article we aim at bridging this gap, and we report our findings, which reveal that the reconnection dynamics conforms with the predicted universal behaviour across the entire BCS-BEC crossover. The universal scaling also survives for spin-imbalanced systems, where unpaired fermions induce a complex structure of the colliding vortices.

We report on the observation of the Josephson effect between two strongly interacting fermionic superfluids coupled through a thin tunneling barrier. We prove that the relative population and phase are canonically conjugate dynamical variables, coher ently oscillating throughout the entire crossover from molecular Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) to Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) superfluids. We measure the plasma frequency and we extract the Josephson coupling energy, both exhibiting a non-monotonic behavior with a maximum near the crossover regime. We also observe the transition from coherent to dissipative dynamics, which we directly ascribe to the propagation of vortices through the superfluid bulk. Our results highlight the robust nature of resonant superfluids, opening the door to the study of the dynamics of superfluid Fermi systems in the presence of strong correlations and fluctuations.
In the present article the snake instability mechanism for dark solitons in superfluid Fermi gases is studied in the context of a recently developed effective field theory [Eur. Phys. J. B 88, 122 (2015)]. This theoretical treatment has proven to be suitable to study stable dark solitons in quasi-1D setups across the BEC-BCS crossover. In this manuscript the nodal plane of the stable soliton solution is perturbed by adding a transverse modulation. The numerical solution of the system of coupled nonlinear differential equations describing the amplitude of the perturbation leads to the instability spectra which are calculated for a wide range of interaction regimes and compared to other theoretical predictions. The maximum transverse size that the atomic cloud can have in order to preserve the stability is estimated, and the effects of spin-imbalance on this critical length are examined, revealing a stabilization of the soliton with increasing imbalance.
Strongly correlated Fermi systems with pairing interactions become superfluid below a critical temperature $T_c$. The extent to which such pairing correlations alter the behavior of the liquid at temperatures $T > T_c$ is a subtle issue that remains an area of debate, in particular regarding the appearance of the so-called pseudogap in the BCS-BEC crossover of unpolarized spin-$1/2$ nonrelativistic matter. To shed light on this, we extract several quantities of crucial importance at and around the unitary limit, namely: the odd-even staggering of the total energy, the spin susceptibility, the pairing correlation function, the condensate fraction, and the critical temperature $T_c$, using a non-perturbative, constrained-ensemble quantum Monte Carlo algorithm.
The crossover between low and high density regimes of exciton-polariton condensates is examined using a BCS wavefunction approach. Our approach is an extension of the BEC-BCS crossover theory for excitons, but includes a cavity photon field. The appr oach can describe both the low density limit, where the system can be described as a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of exciton-polaritons, and the high density limit, where the system enters a photon dominated regime. In contrast to the exciton BEC-BCS crossover where the system approaches an electron-hole plasma, the polariton high density limit has strongly correlated electron-hole pairs. At intermediate densities, there is a regime with BCS-like properties, with a peak at non-zero momentum of the singlet pair function. We calculate the expected photoluminescence and give several experimental signatures of the crossover.
The phase transition to superfluidity and the BCS-BEC crossover for an ultracold gas of fermionic atoms is discussed within a functional renormalization group approach. Non-perturbative flow equations, based on an exact renormalization group equation , describe the scale dependence of the flowing or average action. They interpolate continuously from the microphysics at atomic or molecular distance scales to the macroscopic physics at much larger length scales, as given by the interparticle distance, the correlation length, or the size of the experimental probe. We discuss the phase diagram as a function of the scattering length and the temperature and compute the gap, the correlation length and the scattering length for molecules. Close to the critical temperature, we find the expected universal behavior. Our approach allows for a description of the few-body physics (scattering and molecular binding) and the many-body physics within the same formalism.
