Shortcut to a Fermi-Degenerate Gas of Molecules via Cooperative Association
Shortcut to a Fermi-Degenerate Gas of Molecules via Cooperative Association
We theoretically examine the creation of a Fermi-degenerate gas of molecules via a photoassociation or Feshbach resonance applied to a degenerate Bose-Fermi mixture of atoms. This problem raises an interest because, unlike bosons, fermions in general do not behave cooperatively, so that the collective conversion of, say, two million atoms …
