Pairing near the boundary of a box-shaped trap in the BEC-BCS crossover
Kelly R. Patton, Daniel E. Sheehy
We study pairing of attractively interacting fermions confined to a box-shaped trap. In contrast to the infinite translationally-invariant case, where the local pairing order is sp…
Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory of trapped one-dimensional imbalanced Fermi systems
Kelly R. Patton, Daniel E. Sheehy
Ground state Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) theory is applied to imbalanced spin-1/2 one-dimensional Fermi systems that are spatially confined by either a harmonic or a hard-wall tr…
Trapped imbalanced fermionic superfluids in one dimension: A variational approach
Kelly R. Patton, Dominique M. Gautreau, Stephen Kudla +1
We propose and analyze a variational wave function for a population-imbalanced one-dimensional Fermi gas that allows for Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) type pairing correl…
A fully controllable Kondo system: Coupling a flux qubit and an ultracold Fermi gas
Kelly R. Patton
We show that a composite spin-1/2 Kondo system can be formed by coupling a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) to the internal hyperfine states of a trapped ultraco…
A self-consistent Hartree-Fock approach for interacting bosons in optical lattices
Qin-Qin Lü, Kelly R. Patton, Daniel E. Sheehy
A theoretical study of interacting bosons in a periodic optical lattice is presented. Instead of the commonly used tight-binding approach (applicable near the Mott insulating regim…
Fractionally charged impurity states of a fractional quantum Hall system
Kelly R. Patton, Michael R. Geller
The single-particle spectral function for an incompressible fractional quantum Hall state in the presence of a scalar short-ranged attractive impurity potential is calculated via e…
