Persistent currents in rings of ultracold fermionic atoms
arXiv:2104.02218 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.128.150401
Abstract
We have produced persistent currents of ultracold fermionic atoms trapped in a ring, with lifetimes greater than 10 seconds in the strongly-interacting regime. These currents remain stable well into the BCS regime at sufficiently low temperature. We drive a circulating BCS superfluid into the normal phase and back by changing the interaction strength and find that the probability for quantized superflow to reappear is remarkably insensitive to the time spent in the normal phase and the minimum interaction strength. After ruling out spontaneous current formation for our experimental conditions, we argue that the reappearance of superflow is due to weak damping of normal currents in this limit. These results establish that ultracold fermionic atoms with tunable interactions can be used to create matter-wave circuits similar to those previously created with weakly-interacting bosonic atoms.
