Dynamic projection on Feshbach molecules: a probe of pairing and phase fluctuations
arXiv:cond-mat/0501683 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.95.110404
Abstract
We describe and justify a simple model for the dynamics associated with rapid sweeps across a Feshbach resonance, from the atomic to the molecular side, in an ultra cold Fermi system. The model allows us to relate the observed molecule momentum distribution, including its dependence on the sweep rate, to equilibrium properties of the initial state. For initial state near resonance, we find that phase fluctuations sharply reduce the observed condensate fraction. Moreover, for very fast sweeps and low temperatures, we predict a surprising nonmonotonic dependence of the molecule condensate fraction on detuning, that is a direct signature of quantum phase fluctuations. The dependence of the total molecule number on sweep rate is found to be a sensitive probe of pairing in the initial state, whether condensed or not. Hence it can be utilized to establish the presence of a phase fluctuation induced `psuedogap' phase in these systems.
