Dynamical mean-field approximation for unitary Fermi gas

Abstract

Dynamical mean-field approximation with explicit pairing is utilized to study the properties of a two-component Fermi gas at unitarity. The problem is approximated by the lattice Hubbard Hamiltonian, and the continuum limit is realized by diluting the lattice. We have found that at zero temperature the predictions of this theory for the energy and the pairing gap agree remarkably well with the results of full numerical Monte-Carlo simulations. Investigating the evolution of the system with temperature we identify the existence of a second order phase transition associated with a jump in the heat capacity and the collapse of the pairing gap.
