Non-adiabatic dynamics of superfluid spin-orbit coupled degenerate Fermi gas

Abstract

We study a problem of non-adiabatic superfluid dynamics of spin-orbit coupled neutral fermions in two spatial dimensions. We focus on the two cases when the out-of-equilibrium conditions are initiated either by a sudden change of the pairing strength or the population imbalance. For the case of zero population imbalance and within the mean-field approximation, the non-adiabatic evolution of the pairing amplitude in a collisionless regime can be found exactly by employing the method of Lax vector construction. Our main finding is that the presence of the spin-orbit coupling significantly reduces the region in the parameter space where a steady state with periodically oscillating pairing amplitude is realized. For the collisionless dynamics initiated by a sudden disappearance of the population imbalance we obtain an exact expression for the steady state pairing amplitude. In the general case of quenches to a state with finite population imbalance we show that there is a region in the steady state phase diagram where at long times the pairing amplitude dynamics is governed by the reduced number of the equations of motion in full analogy with exactly integrable case.
