States of fermionic atoms in an optical superlattice across a Feshbach resonance
arXiv:cond-mat/0607464 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.74.052711
Abstract
We investigate states of fermionic atoms across a broad Feshbach resonance in an optical superlattice which allows interaction only among a small number of lattice sites. The states are in general described by superpositions of atomic resonating valence bonds and dressed molecules. As one scans the magnetic field, level crossing is found between states with different symmetry properties, which may correspond to a quantum phase transition in the many-body case.
