Shear viscosity of a universal Fermi gas near the superfluid phase transition
J. A. Joseph, E. Elliott, J. E. Thomas
We precisely measure the shear viscosity for a resonantly interacting Fermi gas as a function of temperature, from nearly the ground state through the superfluid phase transition a…
Anomalous minimum in the shear viscosity of a Fermi gas
E. Elliott, J. A. Joseph, J. E. Thomas
We measure the static shear viscosity in a two-component Fermi gas near a broad collisional (Feshbach) resonance, as a function of interaction strength and energy. We find that…
Observation of conformal symmetry breaking and scale invariance in expanding Fermi gases
E. Elliott, J. A. Joseph, J. E. Thomas
We precisely test scale invariance and local thermal equilibrium in the hydrodynamic expansion of a Fermi gas of atoms as a function of interaction strength. After release from an…
Strongly Correlated Quantum Fluids: Ultracold Quantum Gases, Quantum Chromodynamic Plasmas, and Holographic Duality
Allan Adams, Lincoln D. Carr, Thomas Schaefer +2
Strongly correlated quantum fluids are phases of matter that are intrinsically quantum mechanical, and that do not have a simple description in terms of weakly interacting quasi-pa…
Searching for Perfect Fluids: Quantum Viscosity in a Universal Fermi Gas
C. Cao, E. Elliott, H. Wu +1
We measure the shear viscosity in a two-component Fermi gas of atoms, tuned to a broad s-wave collisional (Feshbach) resonance. At resonance, the atoms strongly interact and exhibi…
Observation of shock waves in a strongly interacting Fermi gas
James Joseph, John E. Thomas, Manas Kulkarni +1
We study collisions between two strongly interacting atomic Fermi gas clouds. We observe exotic nonlinear hydrodynamic behavior, distinguished by the formation of a very sharp and…
