Finite temperature QMC study of the one-dimensional polarized Fermi gas

arXiv:1004.4499 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.82.013614

Abstract

Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) techniques are used to provide an approximation-free investigation of the phases of the one-dimensional attractive Hubbard Hamiltonian in the presence of population imbalance. The temperature at which the "Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov" (FFLO) phase is destroyed by thermal fluctuations is determined as a function of the polarization. It is shown that the presence of a confining potential does not dramatically alter the FFLO regime, and that recent experiments on trapped atomic gases likely lie just within the stable temperature range.

10 pages, 13 figures We added a discussion of the behaviour of the FFLO peak as a function of the attractive interaction strength
