Squeezing Out the Entropy of Fermions in Optical Lattices
arXiv:0808.2652 · doi:10.1073/pnas.0809862105
Abstract
At present, there is considerable interest in using atomic fermions in optical lattices to emulate the mathematical models that have been used to study strongly correlated electronic systems. Some of these models, such as the two dimensional fermion Hubbard model, are notoriously difficult to solve, and their key properties remain controversial despite decades of studies. It is hoped that the emulation experiments will shed light on some of these long standing problems. A successful emulation, however, requires reaching temperatures as low as K and beyond, with entropy per particle far lower than what can be achieved today. Achieving such low entropy states is an essential step and a grand challenge of the whole emulation enterprise. In this paper, we point out a method to literally squeeze the entropy out from a Fermi gas into a surrounding Bose-Einstein condensed gas (BEC), which acts as a heat reservoir. This method allows one to reduce the entropy per particle of a lattice Fermi gas to a few percent of the lowest value obtainable today.
