Sigature of the universal super Efimov Effect: three-body contact in two dimensional Fermi gases

Abstract

A new class of universal "three-body" bound states has been recently predicted theoretically for identical fermions interacting at p-wave resonance in two dimensions. This phenomenon is called the super Efimov effect since the binding energies of the states follow a intriguing double exponential scaling. However, experimental resolution of this scaling is expected to meet formidable challenges. In this work, we introduce a new thermodynamic quantity, the three-body contact $C_{\theta }$, to quantify three-body correlations in a two dimensional gas composed of the resonantly interacting fermions; the contact $C_{\theta }$ is the consequence of the underlying universal super Efimov effect in the many-body context. We show how $C_{\theta }$ affects physical observables such as the radio-frequency spectrum, the momentum distribution and the atom loss rate. Signature of the elusive super Efimov effect in the thermodynamic system can be pinned down by the detection of the three-body contact $C_{\theta }$ via these observables.
