Two-dimensional Paired Topological Superfluids of Rydberg Fermi Gases

Abstract

We systematically investigate the topological properties of spin polarized Rydberg-dressed fermionic atoms loaded in a bilayer optical lattice. Through tuning the Rydberg coupling strength and the inter-layer tunneling amplitude, we identify different types of topological superfluid states generated from the inter-layer pairing and relative gauge phase modulation of the couples 2D -wave superfluids. These phases includes gapped/gapless with/without time reversal symmetry. One of the most interesting states is a gapless paired topological superfluid with both the time-reversal symmetry and particle-hole symmetry. This state is equivalent to a topological Kondo lattice model with the spin-orbit coupling, an in-plane magnetic field, and an additional particle-hole symmetry. The flexibility of experimental manipulation in such Rydberg-dressed ferminoic systems therefore becomes a promising system for realizing interesting topological superfluids.
