From Few to Many: Observing the Formation of a Fermi Sea One Atom at a Time

From Few to Many: Observing the Formation of a Fermi Sea One Atom at a Time

Knowing when a physical system has reached sufficient size for its macroscopic properties to be well described by many-body theory is difficult. We investigate the crossover from few to many-body physics by studying quasi one-dimensional systems of ultracold atoms consisting of a single impurity interacting with an increasing number of …
