Protocol to engineer Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov states in a cold Fermi gas
arXiv:1706.00994 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.96.023612
Abstract
We propose a two-step experimental protocol to directly engineer Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) states in a cold two-component Fermi gas loaded into a quasi-one-dimensional trap. First, one uses phase imprinting to create a train of domain walls in a superfluid with equal number of - and -spins. Second, one applies a radio-frequency sweep to selectively break Cooper pairs near the domain walls and transfer the -spins to a third spin state which does not interact with the - and -spins. The resulting FFLO state has exactly one unpaired -spin in each domain wall and is stable for all values of domain-wall separation and interaction strength. We show that the protocol can be implemented with high fidelity at sufficiently strong interactions for a wide range of parameters available in present-day experimental conditions.
