Introduction to the 2013 Hangzhou Workshop
The Hangzhou Workshop on Quantum Matter is organized annually by the International Collaborative Center for Quantum Matter (ICCQM), a virtual research center established in 2009 as a platform for collaboration in the areas of quantum matter between Rice University and Zhejiang University. Other participating institutions of the ICCQM include the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids in Dresden, the London Center for Nanotechnology, the University of Science and Technology of China, and Hangzhou Normal University. Information on previous workshops can be found at the website of the ICCQM: http://zimp.zju.edu.cn/~iccqm/ .
The primary purpose of the Hangzhou workshop is to explore the long term institutional collaborations between Zhejiang University, Rice University, and a number of other institutions from Asia, North America and Europe, in the area of quantum matter. This frontier subject concerns modern condensed matter and atomic systems, in which quantum correlation and quantum coherence strongly influence their physics properties.
The 2013 Workshop will cover topics in strongly correlated electrons and cold atoms. It will consist of 40 invited talks over 3 and a half days, allocated about equally to these two areas. The topics in cold atoms will focus on strongly interacting Fermi gases, polar molecules and magnetic atoms, synthetic gauge fields and spin-orbit coupling. The topics in strongly correlated electrons will cover a broad range with an emphasis on heavy fermions, quantum critical phenomena, magnetic frustration, and topological insulators/superfluids. A common theme of the Workshop is strong correlations.
The 2013 workshop will bring experimentalists and theorists together from countries including China, USA, Europe, and Japan. The workshop will address newly discovered quantum phases and novel quantum phenomena in strongly correlated systems and cold atoms. It also aims to stimulate and encourage more junior scientists and students to engage in research on quantum matter. The Workshop will be followed by a one-day tutorial program.

Introduction to
International Collaborative Center on Quantum Matter
Background
Zhejiang University (ZJU) in China and Rice University (RU) in USA bear many similarities, both geographically and in terms of the emphasis each university places on science and technology. The complementary strengths with the strong relationship between the leadership at university level of both sides have presented an opportunity to create a virture research center that brings together faculty research clusters at both institutions and leverages the combined efforts to engage additional international faculty collaborations. Preliminary efforts for such collaboration have been made over the past several years, particularly in the area of Quantum Matter. This area is a frontier subject in physics and materials science, with major impacts on the science and technology of modern society.
ZJU-Rice Agreement
On July 3, 2008, the Memorandum of Understanding between Zhejiang University and Rice University was signed by former President Wei Yang and former President David W. Leebron in Hangzhou. According to the Memorandum, an International Collaboration Center on Quantum Matter (ICCQM) was established on the Zhejiang University campus in October 2009. The goal of the ICCQM is to enhance the long-term international research collaborations between Zhejiang University and Rice University, along with other leading international institutions in the broad area of quantum matter. The cooperation includes, but not limited to, collaboration in research, conducting joint workshops, and mutual research visits between faculty and students. Both universities agree to support efforts associated with the ICCQM and seek the participation of other institutions in order to create a critical mass in sustaining a network of substantive collaborations among the individual participating research groups. The ICCQM was officially established at the 2009 Hangzhou Workshop on Quantum Matter.

Critical quasiparticle theory and scaling near a heavy-fermion quantum critical point.
Elihu Abrahams
Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of California, Los Angeles, Box 951547, Los Angeles, CA 90095-1547, USA
A theory is given of the scaling behavior of the properties of a three-dimensional metal at an
antiferromagnetic (AFM) critical point. It is shown that the critical spin fluctuations at the AFM
wavevector induce energy fluctuations at small wavevector, giving rise to a diverging quasiparticle
effective mass over the whole Fermi surface. The coupling of the fermionic and bosonic degrees of
freedom leads to a self-consistent relation for the effective mass, which has a strong coupling solution
in addition to the well-known weak-coupling spin-density-wave solution. Critical quasiparticles that
have a scale-dependent effective mass and quasiparticle weight are introduced; these feed back into the
fluctuation spectrum, which develops omega/T scaling. The results for transport and thermodynamics
are in good agreement with data for both YbRhSi and CeCuAu.

Towards a global phase diagram for heavy fermion quantum criticality
S. Paschen*
Institute of Solid State Physics, Vienna University of Technology, Austria
Quantum criticality has in recent years emerged as one of the key organizing principles for the
electrons in strongly correlated systems. Heavy fermion compounds are at the forefront of this
research. In recent years efforts are being made to classify the different kinds of quantum critical
behavior experimentally observed, to test the extent to which heavy fermion quantum criticality is
universal. We have identified a cubic heavy fermion material, Ce3Pd20Si6, as exhibiting a field-induced
quantum critical point (QCP) as the lower of two consecutive phase transitions is suppressed to zero. It
is accompanied by an abrupt change of Fermi surface [1], reminiscent of what happens across the
field-induced antiferromagnetic to paramagnetic transition in tetragonal YbRh2Si2 [2]. In Ce3Pd20Si6,
the QCP separates two different ordered phases. In fact, a Kondo breakdown QCP [3] has been
theoretically predicted to exist in the ordered portion of a global phase diagram for quantum critical
heavy fermion compounds [4]. We conclude that dimensionality is an effective way to tune through
such a global phase diagram and that the cubic material studied here is situated in the barely explored
three-dimensional portion of this phase diagram.

Condensation of bosons with Rashba-Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling
Gordon Baym
Department of Physics, University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois, U.S.A.
This talk will describe recent work on understanding condensation of ultracold bosonic atomic systems
in the presence of a simulated Rashba-Dresselhaus spin-orbit interaction. As will be discussed, this
system is unusual in that at low temperatures interactions stabilize the condensate against quantum and
thermal fluctuations, while at the same time the system also has a possible normal phase. In mean-field
the finite temperature transition to a condensed phase is first order with a jump in the condensate
density.
Generation and Exploration of Spin-orbit coupled Bose gas
Shuai Chen
Center for Quantum Engineering, University of Science and Technology of China, Xiupu Road 99, Pudong New Area, 201315 Shanghai, P. R. China
To generate an artificial gauge field with ultracold quantum gas becomes a very hot topic in last few
years and will continue to be attractive for ultracold atomic and condensed matter physics in the
coming future. Here we present our recent experimental progress of the spin-orbit coupled Bose-
Einstein condensate (BEC) in optical dipole trap. Raman coupling technique and a bias magnetic field
is applied to tune the structure and phase regime and spin-orbit coupling. Several fundamental
properties of spin-orbit coupled BEC is experimentally studied by collective dipole oscillation and the
stability of upper branch. By study the thermal dynamics of the spin-orbit coupled Bose gas, we
construct the phase diagram according to Raman coupling strength with finite temperature
experimentally. These studies enrich the knowledge of this field and further explorations are also in
planning.

Who is the Lord of the Rings in the Zeeman-spin-orbit Saga: Majorana, Dirac or Lifshitz?
Carlos A. R. Sa de Melo
Georgia Institute of Technology
I discuss the simultaneous effects of Zeeman and spin-orbit fields during the evolution from BCS to
BEC superfluidity for ultra-cold fermions. I focus on spin-orbit couplings with equal Rashba and
Dresselhaus strengths, and show that topological phase transitions of the Lifshitz class occur through
the emergence of Majorana and/or Dirac fermions as Zeeman and spin-orbit fields are varied.
Topological quantum phase transitions in superfluids with non-s-wave order parameters have been
conjectured theoretically for
p-wave and d-wave systems for many years, but never observed experimentally due to the absence of
tunable parameters. However, Zeeman or spin-orbit fields and interactions can be tuned in the context
of ultra-cold atoms and allow for the visitation of several different phases. For systems with zero
Zeeman field, the evolution from BCS to BEC superfluidity in the presence of spin-orbit effects is only
a crossover [1] as the system remains fully gapped, even though a triplet component of the order
parameter emerges. In contrast, for finite Zeeman fields, spin-orbit coupling induces a triplet
component in the order parameter that produces nodes in the quasiparticle excitation spectrum leading
to bulk topological phase transitions of the Lifshitz type [2]. Additionally, a fully gapped phase exists,
where a crossover from indirect to direct gap occurs. For spin-orbit couplings with equal Rashba and
Dresselhaus strengths the nodal quasi-particles are Dirac fermions that live at and in the vicinity of
rings of nodes. Transitions from and to nodal phases can occur via the emergence of zero-mode
Majorana fermions at phase boundaries, where rings of nodes of Dirac fermions annihilate [3]. Lastly,
I characterize different phases via spectroscopic and thermodynamic properties and conclude that
Lifshitz is the “Lord of the Rings”.

Spin frustration and Mott criticality in triangular-lattice organics under controlled Mottness
Kazushi Kanoda
Department of Applied Physics, University of Tokyo, Hongo 7-3-1, Tokyo 113-8656, Japan
Mott transition is a phenomenon in the charge degrees of freedom resulting from the competition
between the Coulomb interactions and kinetic energy. When the lattice is triangular,
antiferromagnetically interacting spins suffer from geometrical frustration against ordering; so, the
correlated electrons on triangular lattice in the vicinity of Mott transition are in an intriguing situation
where both the charge and spin degrees of freedom possibly exhibit quantum fluctuations. The family
of organic conductors, κ-(ET)2X, are modeled to half-filled band systems with quasi-triangular lattices,
of which the geometrical frustration is varied with X. In this workshop, I show experimental results on
two Mott transitions; one is from an antiferromagnet and the other from a spin liquid. At low
temperatures, they have different aspects; the Mott transition from the antiferromagnet has the strong
first-order nature and accompanies the so-called pseudogap followed by relatively high-Tc
superconductivity, whereas the transition from a spin liquid is weak and going without pseudogap and
with low-Tc superconductivity. At high temperatures well above the Mott critical endpoint, however,
the two Mott transitions have things in common with respect to the criticality. Referring to the recent
DMFT calculations, the observed criticality may be quantum in nature. I will also show the
experimental signatures indicating the pressure-induced quantum phase transition in a doped
triangular-lattice.

A very cool ferromagnet: YbNi4P2
Manuel Brando
Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids, N othnitzer Str. 40, 01187 Dresden, Germany�([email protected])
Heavy fermion (HF) systems are metals where the weak hybridisation between nearly localized f-
electrons and the mobile conduction electrons, i.e. the Kondo eect, leads to a Fermi liquid (FL) ground
state with narrow bands and quasiparticles with strongly enhanced eective electronic masses. When the
magnetic RKKY interaction becomes comparable to the Kondo interaction, magnetic order can appear,
mostly at very low T. The magnetic order can be suppressed by an external parameter, e.g. pressure or
magnetic eld, inducing a quantum phase transition (QPT) at T = 0. If this QPT is continuous, the
associated quantum critical point (QCP) is surrounded by a non-FL regime of quantum critical
uctuations where unconventional superconductivity or novel phases of matter may arise [1].
The unambiguous observation of antiferromagnetic (AFM) QCPs in HF systems [2] has led to an
increasing number of theoretical and experimental works in order to understand QPTs as deeply as
their classical counterpart. Although it has been demonstrated that in antiferromagnets QCPs exist, in
ferromagnets there is still no clear evidence. Intensive investigations have shown that metallic
ferromagnets are inherently unstable [3, 4] and do not exhibit a FM QCP. However, in the recently
discovered HF system YbNi4P2, a quasi-1D ferromagnet with a remarkably-low TC = 0:15K [5], the
T-divecgence in the Gr uneisen ratio [6] points to the presence of a FM QCP. I will present a general�
overview of the state of the art of FM quantum criticality in HF systems, discussing in particular the
case of YbNi4P2 [5, 7].

Phenomenological theory for Quantum spin liquids
Yi Zhou (周毅)
Department of Physics, Zhejiang University
We study quantum spin liquid states (QSLs) at the vicinity ofmetal-insulator transition. Assuming
that the low energy excitations in the QSLs are labeled by “spinon” occupation numbers with the same
Fermi surface structure as in the corresponding metal (Fermi-liquid) side, we propose a
phenomenological Landau-like low energy theory for the QSLs and show that the usual U(1) QSLs
with spinon Fermi surface is a representative member of this class of spin liquids. Based on our
effective low energy theory, an alternative picture to the Brinkman-Rice picture of Mott metal-
insulator transition is proposed. The charge, spin and thermal responses of QSLs are discussed under
such a phenomenology.
Second sound and the superfluid fraction in a resonantly interacting Fermi gas (and more news from Innsbruck)
Rudi Grimm
Institut für Quantenoptik und Quanteninformation (IQOQI), Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria and Institut fur Experimentalphysik und Zentrum fur Quantenphysik, Universit at Innsbruck, 6020 �Innsbruck, Austria
I will present our recent results on ultracold Fermi gases with tunable interactions. In a gas of Li-6
atoms, we have observed `second sound', which is a striking manifestation of the two-component
nature of a superfluid. Second sound corresponds to an entropy wave, where the superfluid and the
non-superfluid components oscillate in opposite phase, different from ordinary sound (`first sound'),
where they oscillate in phase. Our measurements of the second-sound speed allow us to extract the
temperature dependence of the superfluid fraction, which in strongly interacting quantum gases has
been an inaccessible quantity so far. In a mixture of Li-6 and K-40, we have studied atom-dimer
interactions by radio-frequency spectroscopy. We have observed an attraction on the repulsive side of
the Feshbach resonance, which represents a unique consequence of a few-body phenomenon and only
occurs in systems with mass imbalance.

University of Washington, Department of Physics, Box 351560, 3910 15th Ave NE, Seattle, WA 98195-1560
We have produced quantum degenerate mixtures of ytterbium (Yb) and lithium (Li) atoms. Such a
mass-mismatched mixture can be useful for various studies in few- and many-body physics.
Furthermore, this combination (of an alkaline-earth-like and an alkali atom) also forms the starting
point for the production of ultracold paramagnetic polar molecules, with proposed applications in
quantum simulation, quantum information science, and precision tests of fundamental physics. In
addition to our production procedures, I will also report on our study of the collisional stability of the
Yb-Li mixture in the vicinity of a Li Feshbach resonance. In our experiment, Yb can be prepared as
either a bath for or a probe of the strongly interacting Li Fermi gas. I will also discuss the prospects
for tunable inter-species interactions and the YbLi molecule.
Exotic pairing of ultracold Fermi gases with mass imbalance or long range interactions
Qijin Chen
Department of Physics, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310027, China
In this talk I will discuss the exotic pairing of ultracold atomic Fermi gases, in the presence of a long
range interaction or between atoms of different masses, such as 6Li and 40K. We find that, as the
interaction strength increases from weak to strong, for long range interactions, the effective high
density makes the superfluid transition temperature Tc vanish at intermediate pairing strengths, where
ordinary BCS-type ground states should now give way to a pair density wave state, and then recover as
the pairing strength further increases. Such behaviors exist for both long range s-wave pairing as well
as p-wave pairing with dipole-dipole interactions. When pairing takes place in a Fermi-Fermi mixture,
exotic phase separation, along with pseudogap phenomena, are predicted when the mixture are
confined in traps. Our calculations in the homogeneous case indicates that the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-
Ovchinnikov state has a substantially large phase space than in equal mass pairing cases. This makes
the detection of FFLO states much easier experimentally.

Quantum Simulation with Atoms in Optical Lattices
Randall G. Hulet
Rice University, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Houston, TX
Some of the most complex and vexing issues in electronic materials are modeled by extremely simple
Hamiltonians. High-temperature superconductors, for example, may arise from magnetic interactions
in a Mott insulating state, described by the simple Hubbard model. The Hubbard model stipulates that
particles (electrons in the case of superconductors) are distributed in a square lattice where they can
hop from site to site with a tunneling energy t, and where they may interact with occupied nearest
neighbor sites with interaction energy U. No one knows whether this simple “hydrogen-atom” model
actually gives rise to the d-wave pairing underlying the cuprate superconductors.
I will describe two experiments that use ultracold atoms in an optical lattice as stand-ins for the
electrons in ionic lattices: 1) the Hubbard model in 3D; and 2) the polarized spin-½ Fermi gas in 1D.
In the first experiment, we are searching for the anti-ferromagnetic Mott insulating state that is
expected to exist above the superconducting transition when there is exactly one-atom per lattice site.
We have used Bragg scattering of near-resonant light to characterize the lattice, and will use a spin-
sensitive variant of this tool to detect magnetic correlations. In the second experiment, we have used
an optical lattice in two-dimensions to create a bundle of 1D tubes containing an imbalanced two spin-
state mixture of 6Li fermions. The phase diagram of this system contains three phases: a fully-paired
superfluid, a fully-polarized ferromagnet, and a partially polarized state that is predicted to be the
exotic FFLO superfluid state, for which the pairs have non-zero center of mass momentum.

Reentrant BCS-BEC crossover and a superfluid-insulator transition in optical lattices
Leo Radzihovsky
Physics Department, CB 390, University of Colorado, Boulder, CO 80309-0390
I will discuss aspects of paired superfluidity in Feshbach-resonant Fermi gases in optical lattices[1,2].
Focusing on a deep optical lattice, I will show that for more than half-filled band the gas exhibits a
reentrant crossover with decreased detuning, from a paired BCS superfluid to a BEC of molecules of
holes, back to the BCS superfluid, and finally to a conventional BEC of diatomic molecules. This
behavior is associated with the non-monotonic dependence of the chemical potential on detuning. This
leads to a variety of interesting experimental predictions. For a single filled band a quantum phase
transition from an insulator to a BCS-BEC superfluid replaces the crossover. The corresponding phase
diagram is mapped out.

Exotic pairing states in two-dimensional Fermi gases with Rashba spin-orbit coupling
Wei Zhang
Renmin University of China
We study the stability region of the topological superfluid phase in a trapped 2D polarized Fermi gas
with Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and across a BCS-BEC crossover. We systematically study the
structure of the phase separation and investigate in detail the optimal parameter region for the
preparation of the topologically non-trivial superfluid phase. In the highly polarized case, we also
show that SOC gives rise to a pairing instability for arbitrary interaction strength. In the weak-coupling
limit, the pairing instability leads to a Fulde-Ferrel-Larking-Ovchinnikov (FFLO)-like molecular state,
which undergoes first-order transition into conventional pairing state when the SOC increases or when
the interaction is tuned stronger. These pairing states are metastable against a polaron state dressed by
particle-hole fluctuations for small SOC strength. At large SOC, a polaron-molecule transition exists,
which suggests a phase transition between the topological superfluid state and the normal state in a
highly polarized Fermi gas.

Quantum criticality and emergent phases in heavy fermion metals
Qimiao Si
Rice University
Quantum criticality is being explored in a variety of correlated electron systems, as a mechanism
for non-Fermi liquid behavior and unconventional superconductivity. During the past decade, much
new insight has been derived from heavy fermion metals. We have theoretically studied the interplay
between the quantum fluctuations of local-moment magnetism and the Kondo effect involving
itinerant electrons. The resulting global phase diagram classifies quantum critical points, providing the
distinction between “standard” quantum critical behavior that fit into the textbook Landau framework
and “beyond-Landau” quantum criticality. This global phase diagram has also motivated a flurry of
recent experiments on heavy fermion materials with varied dimensionality or geometrically frustrated
lattices. I will summarize the theoretical efforts, and discuss their implications for unconventional
superconductivity at the border of antiferromagnetism.

Yb2Pt2Pb: Emergent Criticality on the Shastry-Sutherland Lattice
Meigan Aronson
Stony Brook University and Brookhaven National Laboratory
Metallic Yb2Pt2Pb forms in the U2Pt2Sn structure, with layers of Yb ions forming the orthogonal
dimers of the Shastry-Sutherland lattice (SSL). The Yb3+ moments are strongly Ising-like, with an
energetically isolated doublet ground state. Fits to the temperature dependent susceptibility confirm
that dimerization occurs, and that the B=0 energy separation of the singlet ground state and the triplet
excited state ∆ ~4-5 K. Yb2Pt2Pb orders antiferromagnetically at 2.06 K, with a SDW-type modulation
of the dimer moments with two wave vectors qAF=(0.2,±0.2,0) rlu. The Yb moments are oriented
perpendicular to the (1,±1,0) dimer bond directions, and the dimers form the rungs of two orthogonal
spin ladders along the c-axis. A nondispersing and inelastic excitation with energy ~0.6 meV is found
for wave vectors in the SSL plane, in good agreement with the singlet-triplet gap ∆ inferred from
susceptibility measurements. The dispersion of the excitations along (00l) closely resembles that of a
spinon continuum, such as those found in spin chain compounds. Magnetic fields suppress both the
excitations and the static moments in one ladder, while the ladder whose Ising moments are
perpendicular to the field retains its one-dimensional character. Yb2Pt2Pb is a unique system, where
strong quantum fluctuations related to the spin-ladder or SSL characters of this compound may lead to
unusual correlations in this excellent metallic host.

Field-induced quantum phase transitions and dramatic changes of Fermi-surface in CeRhIn5
H. Q. Yuan
Department of Physics and Center for Correlated Matter, Zhejiang University, China
The heavy fermion compound CeRhIn5 provides a prototype system for studying unconventional
superconductivity and quantum phase transitions. A dramatic change of Fermi surface was previously
reported at the pressure-induced quantum critical point when superconductivity is suppressed by
applying a sufficiently high magnetic field [1], which has been proposed to support the scenario of
local quantum critical point (QCP) [2]. We have performed measurements of quantum oscillations and
specific heat at low temperatures and in magnetic fields across the ambient-pressure field-induced
antiferromagnetic QCP (Bc0≈50T) of CeRhIn5. Direct evidence is obtained for a sharp reconstruction of
the Fermi surface as a function of magnetic field inside the antiferromagnetic state of CeRhIn5. New
Fermi surface branches with large cyclotron masses are observed around 40T, which is likely
attributed to the delocalization of Ce-4f electrons in a magnetic field. Our findings are consistent with
a spin-density-wave type QCP and implicate multiple universality classes of QCPs in the field-
pressure phase diagram of this compound.

Quantum quench in p+ip superfluids: Non-equilibrium topological gapless state(s)
Matthew S. Foster
Physics & Astronomy Department, Rice University, 6100 Main MS-61Houston, Texas 77005-1827
Ground state "topological protection" has emerged as a main theme in quantum condensed matter
physics. A key question is the robustness of physical properties including topological quantum
numbers to perturbations such as disorder or non-equilibrium driving. In this work we investigate the
dynamics of a p+ip superfluid following a zero temperature quantum quench. The model describes a
2D topological superconductor with a non-trivial (trivial) BCS (BEC) phase. Proposed experimental
realizations include ultracold atomic and molecular gases. We work with the full interacting BCS
Hamiltonian, which we solve exactly in the thermodynamic limit using Liouville integrability. The
non-equilibrium phase diagram is obtained for generic quenches. A large region of the phase diagram
describes strong to weak-pairing quenches wherein the order parameter vanishes in the long-time limit,
due to pair fluctuations. Despite this, we find that the pseudospin winding number survives for
quenches in this regime, leading to the prediction of a "gapless topological" state.
Higgs Bosons in Superconductors
Chandra Varma
University of California, Riverside.
Spurred by some strange experimental observations in some superconductors, the theory of a new
collective mode in superconductors and how it can be experimentally found very easily under certain
circumstances was provided in 1981. It was called the "Amplitude Mode" to distinguish it from the
"Phase Modes" which provide Josephson eects and which in homogeneous superconductors are
coupled to charge density uctuations and are at the energies of the plasmons. More generally, this
mode is the amplitude mode of a particle-hole symmetric U(1) eld, i.e the model treated by Higgs and
others in the1960's whose generalizations have played an important role in the standard model of
particle physics. Recently the amplitude or Higgs mode for d-wave superconductors have also been
discussed, where its various cousins may also be found.
I will tell the story of the above and why such modes were missed in the theory of superconductivity
for so long and the applications of the ideas about such modes for cold bosons and fermions in optical
lattices. I will also comment, as a very interested outsider and an enthusiast, on the Higgs in particle
physics being discovered at LHC from the point of view of the theory of superconductivity.

2D topological superconductivity by close to type-II van Hove singularity
Hong Yao
Institute for Advanced Study, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084
We study 2D electronic systems whose Fermi surfaces have type-II van Hove saddle points, defined as
saddle points residing at time-reversal-noninvariant momenta in Brillouin zone. We propose that triplet
pairing is generically favored in such 2D systems in the presence of weak repulsive interactions. This
is argued quite generally from a renormalization group treatment of these systems. Such triplet pairing
could give rise to topological superconductivity with robust boundary chiral or helical Majorana
fermions. Possible applications to the Bi-case superconductor LaOBiS2 will also be discussed.
Unconventional pairing states in a Fermi gas with anisotropic spin-orbit coupling and Zeeman fields
Wei Yi
Key Laboratory of Quantum Information, University of Science and Technology of China,CAS, Hefei, Anhui, 230026, People's Republic of China
We study the exotic pairing states in a two-dimensional ultracold Fermi gas with the synthetic spin-
orbit coupling (SOC) that has recently been realized at the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST). Because of the coexistence of anisotropic SOC and effective Zeeman fields in the
NIST scheme, the system shows a rich structure of phase separation involving exotic gapless
superfluid states and Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) pairing states with different center-of-
mass momenta. In particular, we characterize the stability region of FFLO states and demonstrate their
nontrivial features under SOC. Unlike conventional FFLO states in a polarized Fermi gas without
SOC, these FFLO states are induced by the coexistence of SOC and Fermi surface deformation, and
have intriguing features like first-order transitions between different FFLO states, nodal FFLO states
with gapless contours in momentum space, and the existence of an exotic fully gapped FFLO states.
Based on our understanding of these pairing states in the weak coupling limit, we expect that they are
not limited to the case of NIST SOC, and should generally exist in systems with SOC and Fermi
surface deformation. The various interesting features reported here may be probed, for example, by
measuring the in situ density profiles or by the momentum-resolved radio-frequency spectroscopy.

Experimental realization of spin-orbit coupled degenerate Fermi gas
Jing Zhang
The State Key Laboratory of Quantum Optics and QuantumOptics Devices, Institute of Opto-Electronics, Shanxi University,Taiyuan 030006, P.R. China
We report the first experimental realization of SO coupled degenerate Fermi gas. Evidences of
spin-orbit coupling have been obtained from the Raman Rabi oscillation and the spin-dependent
momentum distribution asymmetry. We also find that the momentum distribution in helical bases is
consistent with topological changes of Fermi surfaces. Recently, we bring the system close to a
Feshbach resonance where the s-wave interaction becomes strongly attractive. This progress enables
us to study stronger pairing and higher Tc enhanced by SO coupling in resonant interacting Fermi
gases and topological insulator and topological superfluid in a more flexible setup in near future.

Two-dimensional dipolar Fermi liquid

I will discuss a novel two-dimensional Fermi liquid of dipoles (polar molecules or atoms with a large
magnetic moment) which are tilted at a certain angle with respect to the plane of their translational
motion. It will be shown that only many-body (non-mean field) effects provide a correct description of
zero sound. Relying on the calculation of the dynamical structure factor, the relaxation rate of
quasiparticles, and the damping rate of zero sound, I will show wide possibilities for the observation of
zero sound modes in experiments.

Stripes and crystalline phases in low-dimensional dipolar gases
Meera M Parish
London Centre for Nanotechnology, Gordon Street, London, WC1H 0AH, United Kingdom
Ultracold atomic gases provide an exceptionally clean and controllable system in which to explore
quantum many-body phenomena. Thus far, the focus has been on short-range interactions, since these
well describe atom-atom scattering in the low energy limit. However, the recent creation of polar
molecules with electric dipole moments has ignited interest in long-range dipolar interactions and the
possibility of new exotic phases.
In this talk, I will examine the behavior of polar molecules confined to low-dimensional geometries,
where the dipole moments are all aligned by an external electric field. For a two-dimensional gas of
dipolar fermions, I will show that the system can spontaneously break rotational symmetry and form a
density wave (or stripe phase) for sufficiently strong repulsive interactions [1], thus providing a model
example of a density wave that is purely driven by repulsion rather than, e.g., distortions of an
underlying lattice. I will also discuss the effects of different geometries on density wave and crystalline
phases [2,3].

Spin-1/2 Fermi Gases of Polar Molecules across Dipolar Induced Resonance
Hui Zhai
Institute for Advanced Study, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084
In this talk I will discuss spin-1/2 dipolar Fermi gas of polar molecules. I shall first introduce "dipolar
induced resonance". Through the coupling between s-wave and higher partial wave, dipolar interaction
induces an effective -1/r^4 potential in s-wave channel, which can generate scattering resonances as
dipolar strength increases. We shall emphasize that this resonance, in contrast to Feshbach resonance,
has a positive effective range, and we shall highlight the consequence of this effective range. We will
also discuss many-body crossover physics across the "dipolar induced resonance". Surprisingly, an
isotropic spin singlet paring will emerge from the anisotropic dipolar interaction at resonance, which
also has a universal interaction energy. Away from resonance, there will be a transition from singlet
superfluid to triplet superfluid. Nearby the transition, a singlet-triplet mixed phase with spontaneously
breaking of time-reversal symmetry will take place.

Detect spin liquids via spin transport
X.C. Xie
International Center for Quantum Materials and School of Physics, Peking University
In the "spinon Fermi sea" state proposed for the organic spin liquid candidates, there will be a Fermi
surface of fermionic spin-1/2 spinons. Specific heat and thermal conductivity measurements indeed
suggest the existence of Fermi surfaces in these Mott insulators. However they do not directly prove
these are formed by the spinons. In this talk we propose a measurement that would simultaneously
show the existence of Fermi surfaces and their spin-carrying nature. Our proposal is to measure the
spin current flowing through a metal-spin liquid-metal junction, similar to a recent measurement of
spin current through a ferrimagnetic insulator[Nature 464, 262 (2010)]. We will show that different
Mott insulating states can in principle be distinguished by different power law relations between spin
current and spin bias.

Half metallic bilayer graphene
Fu-Chun Zhang
University of Hong Kong and Zhejiang University
Charge neutral bilayer graphene has a gapped ground state as transport experiments demonstrate. One
of the plausible such ground states is layered antiferromagnetic spin density wave state, where the
spins in top and bottom layers have the same amplitudes but opposite signs. We propose that lightly
charged bilayer graphene in an interlayer electric field may be a half metal as a consequence of the
inversion and particle-hole symmetry broken in a layered antiferromagnetic state. We show this
explicitly by using a mean field theory on a 2-layer Hubbard model to describe the graphene system.

XingNational Laboratory of Solid State Microstructures andDepartment of Physics, Nanjing University, Nanjing 210093, China and D. N. ShengDepartment of Physics and Astronomy, California StateUniversity, Northridge, California 91330, USA The quantum spin Hall (QSH) effect is known to be unstable to perturbations violating time-reversal
symmetry. We show that creating a narrow ferromagnetic (FM) region near the edge of a QSH sample
can push one of the counterpropagating edge states to the inner boundary of the FM region, and leave
the other at the outer boundary, without changing their spin polarizations and propagation directions.
Since the two edge states are spatially separated into different ``lanes'', the QSH effect becomes robust
against symmetry-breaking perturbations. We present both qualitative discussion and quantitative
calculation to demonstrate the physical picture and practical feasibility of this proposal.

condensation, BEC pairing, spin ordering, and some strongly correlated phenomena will look like for

Equation for the superfluid gap obtained by coarse graining the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations throughout the BCS-BEC crossover.
Giancarlo Strinati
Dipartimento di Fisica, Universita di Camerino, I-62032 Camerino, Italy
A non-linear (LPDA) differential equation for the gap parameter of a superfluid Fermi system is
obtained by performing a suitable coarse graining of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes (BdG) equations for
any coupling throughout the BCS-BEC crossover and from zero temperature up to the critical
temperature, aiming at replacing the time-consuming solution of the original BdG equations by the
simpler solution of this novel equation. A favorable numerical test for the practical validity of this new
equation is performed over most the temperature-coupling phase diagram, by an explicit comparison
with the full solution of the original BdG equations for an isolated vortex. The LPDA equation reduces
both to the Ginzburg-Landau equation for Cooper pairs in weak coupling close to the critical
temperature and to the Gross-Pitaevskii equation for composite bosons in strong coupling at low
temperature.

Localized Impurity in Ultracold Fermi Gas
Han Pu
Department of Physics and Astronomy, Rice University, 6100 Main Street, Houston, Texas 77005, USA
One of the salient features of ultracold atomic systems is that they are intrinsically clean. Nevertheless,
artificial impurities can be engineered in atomic systems, which allows one to investigate their effects.
In this talk, I will discuss our recent work on the effects of a localized impurity potential on atomic
Fermi gases. Such an impurity can be used to manipulate or probe exotic quantum phases of fermionic
superfluids. For example, it can be exploited to create the FFLO state in a controlled manner or to
realize Majorana edge state in a topological Ferm gas with Rashba spin-orbit coupling.
Orbitronics in Silicon
Gabriel Aeppli
Department of Physics and Astronomy, University College London Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT, United Kingdom
Condensed matter physics is following atomic physics in moving from observation of quantum states
to their control, initially via variables such as external magnetic fields, but more recently using tailored
optical and microwave pulses and, at the level of a few atoms, using electrical fields generated by scan
probe tips. These developments, which also include deterministic doping of semiconductors, will
enable both new quantum many body physics as well as novel information processing schemes. In
particular, we describe the control and observation of coherent superpositions of defect orbitals in
silicon using both scanning tunneling microscopy and pulsed THz radiation generated by the Dutch-
UK free electron laser FELIX. The results are contrasted with those for control of defect spins.

CePt4Ge12-xSbx: from intermediate valence to local moment magnetism
F. Steglich§
Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids, Dresden, Germany
In the filled skutterudite CePt4Ge12, the Ce ions are in a weakly-intermediate valent (IV) state. Partially
substituting Sb for Ge, one (i) adds extra conduction electrons and (ii) expands the average unit-cell
volume [1]. This leads to the reduction of the Kondo energy scale and the emergence of magnetism.
The T – x phase diagram includes various ground states, namely, a "light" Fermi liquid of IV
CePt4Ge12-xSbx (0 ≤ x < 0.8), an extended non-Fermi liquid phase (around x = 1), a "heavy" Fermi
liquid (1.1 < x < 1.5) and antiferromagnetic order at higher Sb concentration up to, at least, x = 3. The
striking dissimilarity of this phase diagram with the generic phase diagram of quantum-critical heavy-
fermion metals [2] is discussed, with special emphasis on the role of disorder.

Tuning the Heavy-Fermion Superconductor CeCoIn5 with Cd-doping and Pressure
Xin Lu
Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310027, China
CeCoIn5 is a well-known heavy fermion superconductor showing quantum critical behavior at ambient
pressure. A small amount of Cd-doping in CeCoIn5 readily destroys the superconductivity and induces
long-range antiferromagnetic (AFM) order. It is assumed that pressure would reversibly tune Cd-
doped CeCoIn5 back to its original quantum critical state. In this talk, we show that, even though AFM
is gradually suppressed under pressure with the emergence of superconductivity, no magnetic quantum
critical behaviors are observed in either electrical resistivity or heat capacity measurements around the
assumed critical pressure. A possible scenario for the AFM order is that the doped Cd defects nucleate
spin droplets in the critical superconductor CeCoIn5 and these droplets form long-range magnetic order
when they overlap in space. The size of the droplets shrinks and they lose long range magnetic order
with the recovery of superconductivity as pressure tunes CeCoIn5 away from its natural
superconducting critical point. The 115In nuclear quadrupolar resonance spectra for 1% Cd-doped
CeCoIn5 under pressure support the existence of spin droplets even when AFM is completely
suppressed.

First principles study of relativistic Mott insulating Li RhO
Chao Cao
Hangzhou Normal University
Motivated by studies of coexisting electron correlation and spin-orbit coupling effect in Na2IrO3 and a
recent experiment of its 4d analogue Li2RhO3, we performed first-principles calculations of the
rhodium oxide compound. The experimentally observed ground state of Li2RhO3 can be recovered
only if both spin-orbit coupling and on-site Coulomb interaction are taken into consideration. Within
the proper U range for 4d-orbitals ( eV), the ground state of Li could be either
zigzag-AFM or stripy-AFM, both yielding energy gap close to experimental observation. Furthermore,
the total energy differences between the competing magnetic phases are meV/Rh within
eV, manifesting strong magnetic frustration in the compound. Finally, the phase energy of
Li RhO cannot be fitted with the two-dimensional Heisenberg-Kitaev model involving only the
nearest neighbor interactions, and we propose that inter-layer interactions may be responsible for the
discrepancy.

Mingwu Lu
Stanford University
Advances in the quantum manipulation of ultracold atomic gases are opening a new frontier in the
quest to better understand strongly correlated matter. By exploiting the long-range and anisotropic
character of the dipole-dipole interaction, we hope to create novel forms of soft quantum matter,
phases intermediate between canonical states of order and disorder. Our group recently created Bose
and Fermi quantum degenerate gases of the most magnetic element, dysprosium, which should allow
investigations of quantum liquid crystals. We present details of recent experiments that created the first
degenerate dipolar Fermi gas as well as the first strongly dipolar BEC in low field. BECs of Dy will
form the key ingredient in novel scanning probes using atom chips. We are developing a Dy cryogenic
atom chip microscope that will possess unsurpassed sensitivity and resolution for the imaging of
condensed matter materials exhibiting topologically protected transport and magnetism.
Breathing model of two-dimensional atomic Fermi gases in harmonic traps
Zhenhua Yu
Institute for Advanced Study, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084
Two dimensional many-body systems with a contact interaction have a SO(2,1) at the classical
level. For two-dimensional (2D) atomic Fermi gases, including quantum effects, the SO(2,1)
symmetry is broken explicitly via the contact correlation operator. Consequently the frequency of the
breathing mode of the 2D Fermi gas in harmonic traps can be different from , with the
trapping frequency of harmonic potentials. At zero temperature, we use the sum rules of density
correlation functions to yield upper bounds for . We further calculate through the Euler
equations in the hydrodynamic regime. The obtained value of satisfies the upper bounds and shows
deviation from which can be as large as about 8%.

Density wave instabilities of tilted fermionic dipoles in a multilayer geometry
J K Block1, N T Zinner and G M Bruun
Department of Physics and Astronomy, Aarhus University, Denmark
We consider the density wave instability of fermionic dipoles aligned by an external field, and moving in equidistant layers at zero temperature. Using a conserving Hartree-Fock approximation, we calculate the critical coupling strength for the formation of density waves as a function of the dipole orientation and the distance between the layers and also consider the effect of a non-zero layer width. We find that exchange correlations within each layer suppress the density wave instability significantly2.Conversely, interactions between dipoles in different layers enhance the density wave instability. This effect, which is strongest when the dipoles are oriented perpendicular to the planes, causes the density waves in neighboring layers to be in-phase for all orientations of the dipoles. We demonstrate that the effects of the interlayer interaction can be understood from a simple classical model.
Left: Dipolar molecules are confined to quasi 2D layers by means of a deep one dimensional optical lattice and aligned by an external electric field. Right: For a typical layer separation d=1064 nm/2 and perpendicular alignment θ =0, the critical value of dipole moment times the square root of the mass, p√m, as a function of the square root of the density. Vertical lines: p√m for five dipolar fermionic molecules of alkali metals.

Reentrant Superfluidity in Polarized Single Component Fermi Gases with Dipolar Interactions
Yanming Che and Qijin Chen
Department of Physics, Zhejiang University
Quantum degenerate polar molecules and atoms have been made available experimentally [1][2], which provide a platform for exploring new phases of quantum gases where dipole-dipole interaction (DDI) plays a dominant role. In contrast to the widely studied isotropic and short range interactions in dilute atomic gases, the DDI is of long range and spatially anisotropic. The relative DDI strength can be tuned via external electrical field in the case of polar molecules or via tuning the Fermi energy (or density) in the case of magnetic atoms. Existing theories on dipolar superfluidity are mostly based on mean field treatments, which are inadequate in treating the moderate and strong coupling regimes. Here we study theoretically the superfluidity of polarized single component 3D dipolar Fermi gases from weak to strong coupling regimes, within a pairing fluctuation theory[3][4]. Effects of finite temperature and pseudogap are addressed. One remarkable phenomenon is the re-entrant behavior of Tc in the T-g phase diagram, where g is the DDI strength. There exists a range of DDI where the system favors a pair density wave (or supersolid) state rather than Bose-Einstein condensation of pairs of zero momentum. This phenomenon is a result of the interplay of the long range nature and anisotropic properties of DDI. Transport properties including superfluid density and heat capacity below Tc are calculated as well, throughout the BCS-BEC crossover. When a 3D isotropic harmonic trap is included using a local density approximation (LDA), the density profile broadens with increasing temperature whereas it shrinks with increasing DDI strength, similar to its s-wave counterpart.

Motivated by recent experiments on Zn-doped 122-type iron pnictides, we investigate the disorder effects caused by non-magnetic impurities at the strong (unitary) impurity scattering limit in a superconductor with the -pairing symmetry. The spatially unrestricted Bogoliubov-de Gennes equation is solved self-consistently based on a minimal two-band model with varying impurity concentration. It is shown that the superconductivity is more fragile than the magnetic order against the single impurity scattering. With increasing impurity concentrations the density of states shows a typical gap filling feature, revealing the impurity-induced pair breaking effect. Moreover, both the disorder configuration averaged gap amplitude and superfluid stiffness are dramatically suppressed towards the dirty limit indicating the Cooper pair localization. We find that the superconducting phase is fully suppressed at critical impurity concentration . These results are in agreement with experiments on the Zn-doped BaFe2As2 compound.

We investigate the competition between the spin-orbit interaction of itinerant electrons and their Kondo coupling with local moments densely distributed on the honeycomb lattice. We find that the model at half-filling displays a quantum phase transition between topological and Kondo insulators at a nonzero Kondo coupling. In the Kondo-screened case, tuning the electron concentration can lead to a new topological insulator phase. The results suggest that the heavy-fermion phase diagram contains a new regime with a competition among topological, Kondo-coherent and magnetic states, and that the regime may be especially relevant to Kondo lattice systems with -conduction electrons. Finally, we discuss the implications of our results in the context of the recent experiments on SmB implicating the surface states of a topological insulator, as well as the existing experiments on the phase transitions in SmB under pressure and in CeNiSn under chemical pressure.

Collisional properties of interacting particles can dramatically change when the dimensionality of the system is reduced. One intriguing example is the disappearance of the weakly bound trimers known as Efimov states in two dimensions. Many open questions remain about the details of the crossover from three to two dimensions and how the Efimov-related three-body recombination losses are affected. We use ultracold cesium atoms trapped tightly in a harmonic potential along one spatial direction to realize a quasi-two-dimensional system with tunable confinement and tunable interactions. In our latest results, we succeed to trace a smooth transition of the three-body recombination rate from a three-dimensional to a nearly two-dimensional system, in good agreement with recent theoretical models.

Through a combination of X-ray diffraction, electrical transport, magnetic susceptibility and heat capacity measurements, we report the effect of La doping on Sr in the newly discovered SrFBiS2 system. Superconducting transition with critical temperature Tc of 2.8 K, developed from a semiconducting-like normal state, was found in Sr0.5La0.5FBiS2. A strong diamagnetic signal and a clear specific heat anomaly associated with this transition were observed, confirming bulk superconductivity. The upper critical field Hc2(0) was estimated to be 1 Tesla by using the Ginzburg-Landau approach. Our experiments therefore demonstrate that bulk superconductivity can be achieved by electron doping in the SrFBiS2 system.

Ultracold atoms in an optical lattice offer a unique setting for quantum simulation of interacting many-body systems. As is well known, an important milestone was the observation of superfluid (SF) to Mott insulator (MI) transition, which stimulated a variety of novel quantum phases. In most cases, only the lowest band has to be considered in a standard Bose-Hubbard model (BHM), however, renormalized multi-band effect has been measured in quantum phase revival spectroscopy [1] and was also demonstrated to play an essential role in photon-assisted tunneling [2]. In addition, extensive studies focus on non-equilibrium dynamics of a strongly correlated system with trapped atoms in optical lattices, and especially relaxation time scale [3]. Now we are interested in non-equilibrium dynamics of a bosonic lattice gas in the presence of multi-body interaction. In this work, we explore the effects of the attractive three-body interaction on the phases of the system at equilibrium and non-equilibrium dynamics across the SF-MI transition. By means of Gutzwiller mean-field theory, we numerically obtain phase diagram of the modified BH Hamiltonian and find several intriguing results, such as the expansion of the central insulator plateaus and even the emergence of a new plateaus at the center. In addition, we investigate the transport of the atoms and predict a slower relaxation time which is attributed to the effect of the multi-body interaction on mass transport.

Looking for FFLO states in a Fermi-Fermi mixture
Jibiao Wang
Department of Physics, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310027, China
Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) states have been of great interest in the study of population imbalanced atomic Fermi gases. It has been known that the phase space of FFLO states for an equal-mass Fermi gas in three dimensions (3D) is rather small and thus has not been observed experimentally. Here we discuss these states in a homogeneous mixture, as well as for other mass ratios, as they undergo the BCS--BEC crossover, using a pairing fluctuation theory. We find that when is majority, a stable FFLO phase persists throughout the BCS through BEC regimes, with the population imbalances evolving from small to large. In contrast, when is the majority, a stable FFLO phase exists only in the BCS regime. We also find that the phase space of stable FFLO states becomes substantially larger as the mass ratio increases at unitarity. This should make it easier to detect such states in experiment.

Momentum distribution functions in ensembles: the inequivalence of microcannonical and canonical ensembles in a finite ultracold system
Pei Wang
Zhejiang University of Technology
It is demonstrated that in many thermodynamic textbooks the equivalence of the different ensembles is achieved in the thermodynamic limit. In this present work we remark the inequivalence of microcan-nonical and canonical ensembles in a finite ultracold system at low energies. We calculate the microca-nonical and canonical momentum distribution function (MDF) in a system of identical fermions (bo-sons). The canonical MDF is the Fermi-Dirac (Bose-Einstein) function, while the microcanonical MDF deviates from the canonical one in a finite system at low energies where the single-particle dens-ity of states and its inverse are finite.
Unconventional superfluid in a two-dimensional Fermi gas with anisotropic spin-orbit coupling and Zeeman fields

We study the phase diagram of a two-dimensional unlracold Fermi gas with the synthetic spin-obit coupling that has recently been realized at NIST. Due to the coexistence of SOC and the effective Zeeman fields in the NIST scheme, the system shows rich structure of phase separation involving exotic gapless superfluid and Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov pairing states with different center-of-mass momentum. In particular, we characterize the stability region of the FFLO states and demonstrate their unique features under SOC. We then show that the effective transverse Zeeman field in the NIST scheme can qualitatively change the landscape of the thermodynamic potential which leads to intriguing effects, such as the disappearance of the pairing instability, the competition between different FFLO states, and the stabilization of an FFLO state with a particular center-of-mass momentum over a large parameter region. These interesting features may be probed for example by measuring the in situ density profiles or by the momentum-resolved rf spectroscopy.

Significance of dressed molecules in a quasi-two-dimensional Fermi gas with spin-orbit coupling
Ren Zhang (张仁)
Department of Physics, Renmin University of China, Beijing 100872, People's Republic of China
We investigate the properties of a spin-orbit coupled quasi-two-dimensional Fermi gas with tunable s-wave interaction between the two spin species. By analyzing the two-body bound state, we find that the population of the excited states in the tightly confined axial direction can be significant when the two-body binding energy becomes comparable to or exceeds the axial confinement. Since the Rashba spin-orbit coupling that we study here tends to enhance the two-body binding energy, this effect can become prominent at unitarity or even on the BCS side of the Feshbach resonance. To study the impact of these excited modes along the third dimension, we adopt an effective two-dimensional Hamiltonian in the form of a two-channel model, where the dressed molecules in the closed channel consist of the conventional Feshbach molecules as well as the excited states occupation in the axial direction. With properly renormalized interactions between atoms and dressed molecules, we find that both the density distribution and the phase structure in the trap can be significantly modified near a wide Feshbach resonance. In particular, the stability region of the topological superfluid phase is increased. Our findings provide a proper description for a quasi-two-dimensional Fermi gas under spin-orbit coupling, and are helpful for the experimental search for the topological superfluid phase in ultracold Fermi gases.
Nematic Ferromagnetism on a Lieb lattice
Wei Zhang
Department of Physics, Remin University of China, Beijing 100872, China
We discuss the properties of ferromagnetic orders on the Lieb lattice and show that a symmetry protected quadratic-flat band crossing point will dramatically affect the magnetic ordering. In the presence of a weak on-site repulsive interaction, we find that the ground state is a nematic ferromagnetic order with simultaneous broken of time-reversal and rotational symmetries. When the interaction strength increases, the rotational symmetry will restore at a critical value, and the system enters a conventional ferromagnetic regime. We also find out that the mean-field transition temperatures for both the nematic and conventional ferromagnetic phases are of the order of interaction. This observation suggests that these magnetic orders have the potential to be realized and detected in cold atomic systems within realistic experimental conditions.

Exotic pairing states in a Fermi gas with three-dimensional spin-orbit coupling

We investigate properties of exotic pairing states in a three-dimensional Fermi gas with three dimensional spin-orbit coupling and an effective Zeeman field. The interplay of spin-orbit coupling, effective Zeeman field and pairing can lead to first-order phase transitions between different phases, and to interesting nodal superfluid states with gapless surfaces in the momentum space. We then demonstrate that pairing states with zero center-of-mass momentum are unstable against Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) states, with a finite center-of-mass momentum opposite to the direction of the effective Zeeman field. Unlike conventional FFLO states, these FFLO states are induced by the coexistence of spin-orbit coupling and Fermi surface deformation, and have intriguing features like first-order transitions between different FFLO states, nodal FFLO states with gapless surfaces in momentum space, and exotic fully gapped FFLO states. With the recent theoretical proposals for realizing three-dimensional spin-orbit coupling in ultracold atomic gases, our work is helpful for the future experimental studies, and provides valuable information for the general understanding of pairing physics in spin-orbit coupled fermionic systems.
