Two-fermion bound state in a Bose-Einstein condensate
arXiv:cond-mat/0206249 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.67.021601
Abstract
A nonlinear Schrödinger equation is derived for the dynamics of a beam of ultracold fermionic atoms traversing a Bose-Einstein condensate. The condensate phonon modes are shown to provide a nonlinear medium for the fermionic atoms. A two-fermion bound state is predicted to arise, and the signature of the bound state in a nonlinear atom optics experiment is discussed.
