4 A little bit of history
5 Bertsch Many-Body X challenge, Seattle, 1999 What are the ground state properties of the many-body system composed of spin ½ fermions interacting via a zero-range, range, infinite scattering-length contact interaction. Why? Besides pure theoretical curiosity, this problem is relevant t to neutron stars! In 1999 it was not yet clear, either theoretically or experimentally, whether such fermion matter is stable or not! A number of people argued that under such conditions fermionic matter is unstable. - systems of bosons are unstable (Efimov effect) - systems of three or more fermion species are unstable (Efimov effect) Baker (winner of the MBX challenge) concluded that the system is stable. See also Heiselberg (entry to the same competition) Carlson et al (2003) Fixed-Node Green Function Monte Carlo and Astrakharchik et al. (2004) FN-DMC provided the best theoretical estimates for the ground state energy of such systems. Thomas Duke group (2002) demonstrated experimentally that such systems are (meta)stable.
6 Bertsch s regime is nowadays called the unitary regime The system is very dilute, but strongly interacting! n r r 0 n a 3 1 n-1/3 1/3 λ F /2 a n - number density r 0 - range of interaction a - scattering length
7 Expected phases of a two species dilute Fermi system BCS-BEC BEC crossover High T, normal atomic (plus a few molecules) phase T Strong interaction weak interactions weak interaction BCS Superfluid a<0 no 2-body bound state Molecular BEC and Atomic+Molecular Superfluids a>0 shallow 2-body bound state halo dimers 1/a
8 Early theoretical approach to BCS-BEC BEC crossover Dyson (?), Eagles (1969), Leggett (1980) ( k k k k ) gs = u +v a a vacuum BCS wave function k m π 1 1 = ε 2 4 k 2 k 2Ek a 8 e 2 ε F exp π 2k a F gap equation ε µ k n = 2 1 number density equation k E k pairing gap 2 2 E k = ( ε k µ ) + quasi-particle energy ε k 2 2 k ε µ k =, u k + v k = 1, v k= 1 2m 2 E k total k = F + π a +... k n, n = F 2 E 3 3 N 5 2m m 8µ 3π Neglected/overlooked
9 Consequences: Usual BCS solution for small and negative scattering lengths, with exponentially small pairing gap For small and positive scattering lengths this equations describe a gas a weakly repelling (weakly bound/shallow) molecules, essentially all at rest (almost pure BEC state) Ψ ( r, r, r, r,...) A [ ϕ( r ) ϕ( r )...] In BCS limit the particle projected many-body wave function has the same structure (BEC of spatially overlapping Cooper pairs) For both large positive and negative values of the scattering length these equations predict a smooth crossover from BCS to BEC, from a gas of spatially large Cooper pairs to a gas of small molecules
10 What is wrong with this approach: The BCS gap (a<0 and small) is overestimated, thus the critical temperature and the condensation energy are overestimated as well. In BEC limit (a>0 and small) the molecule repulsion is overestimated The approach neglects of the role of the meanfield (HF) interaction, which is the bulk of the interaction energy in both BCS and unitary regime All pairs have zero center of mass momentum, which is reasonable in BCS and BEC limits, but incorrect in the unitary regime, where the interaction between pairs is strong!!! (this situation is similar to superfluid 4 He) Ψ ( r, r, r, r,...) A [ ϕ( r ) ϕ( r )...] Fraction of non-condensed pairs (perturbative( result)!?! n n ex n = na m mm, nm=, amm 0.6 a 3 π 2

15 Theory for fermions at T >0 in the unitary regime Put the system on a spatio-temporal lattice and use a path integral formulation of the problem
16 A short detour Let us consider the following one-dimensional Hilbert subspace (the generalization to more dimensions is straightforward) P 2 = P projector in this Hilbert subspace π sin π l ( x y) dk xpy exp[ ikx ( y)] l = =, π 2 π π( x y) l ( ) ( x) = P δ x x, = ( x ) = ( x ) = K α α α β α β β α α αβ δ sin π N ( x nl) ψ( x) = c ( x) O(exp( cn)) ( nl) l α α + ψ π α = 1 n ( x nl) l 1 1 c = dx ( x) ψ( x) = ψ( x ), x = nl α K α K α α α α Littlejohn et al.

23 More details of the calculations: Lattice sizes used from 6 3 x 300 (high Ts) to 6 3 x 1361 (low Ts) 8 3 running (incomplete, but so far no surprises) and larger sizes to come Effective use of FFT(W) makes all imaginary time propagators diagonal (either in real space or momentum space) and there is no need to store large e matrices Update field configurations using the Metropolis importance sampling algorithm Change randomly at a fraction of all space and time sites the signs s the auxiliary fields σ(x, (x,τ)) so as to maintain a running average of the acceptance rate between 0.4 and 0.6 Thermalize for 50, ,000 MC steps or/and use as a start-up field configuration a σ(x, (x,τ)-field configuration from a different T At low temperatures use Singular Value Decomposition of the evolution operator U({σ}) to stabilize the numerics Use 100,000-2,000,000 σ(x, (x,τ)- field configurations for calculations MC correlation time time steps at T T c

26 Specific heat of a fermionic cloud in a trap At T << T c only the Bogoliubov-Anderson modes in a trap are excited 4 ω In a spherical trap Ω nl = ω nn ( + l+ 2) + l ( 2 n+ l) 3 3 In an anisotropic trap 1 Ω( nx, ny, nz) ( nx + ny) ω + nzω 3
27 Now we can estimate E(T) ( nx, ny nz) ( n n n ) ' Ω, 1 Es ( T) Egs +, β = nx, ny, nz exp β x, y, z 1 T Ω 1 Ω( nx, ny, nz) ( nx + ny) ω + nzω 3 ω exp ( β ω ), T ω 2 2 3π T Es ( T) Egs +, ω T ω 6 ω 3/ π T ω T T 3 2 c 30 ωω
28 The previous estimate used an approximate collective spectrum. Let us use the exact one for spherical traps: 4 4n Ω nl = ω nn ( + l+ 2) + l Ω surf = ω 1 + l 3 3 nl, ( 2l 1) β [ Ω ] ω( 3N ) 4/3 5 ' + Ω ξs nl Es ( T) Egs exp 1 4 nl T 4 4 ω 1/2 4n 3/2 ωl 4n Es ( T) Egs + 2ω 1 + dl l exp 1+ n= 0 3 T 3 ω( 3N ) 4/3 5 ξs T 4 4 ω The last estimate includes only the surface modes
29 Let us try to estimate the contribution from surface modes in a deformed trap (only n=0 modes): 2 FS ( ) Ω surf ( S) = k, F( S) = U( r) m 2 mω ( Ur () = x + y + λ z ) 2 S E ( T) s E + gs 2 dsd k 2 ( π ) Ω surf ( S) 2 exp β Ωsurf ( S) 1 4/3 5 2 ξs ω( N ) T λ ω λ λ 3 96 arctan

31 Conclusions Fully non-perturbative calculations for a spin ½ many fermion system in the unitary regime at finite temperatures are feasible and apparently the system undergoes a phase transition in the bulk at a T c = 0.22 (3) ε F (One variant of the fortran 90 program, version in matlab, has about 500 lines, and it can be shortened also. This is about as long as a PRL!) Below the transition temperature both phonons and fermionic quasiparticles contribute almost equaly to the specific heat. In more than one way the system is at crossover between a Bose and Fermi systems In a trap the surface modes seem to affect significantly the thermodynamic properties of a fermionic atomic cloud
