We predict a direct and observable signature of the superfluid phase in a quantum Fermi gas, in a temperature regime already accessible in current experiments. We apply the theory of resonance superfluidity to a gas confined in a harmonic potential and demonstrate that a significant increase in density will be observed in the vicinity of the trap center.

Dark State Transport between Unitary Fermi Superfluids.

The formation of dark states is an important concept in quantum sciences, but its compatibility with strong interparticle interactions-for example, in a quantum degenerate gas-is hardly explored. Here, we realize a dark state in one of the spins of a two-component, resonantly interacting Fermi gas using a Λ system within the D_{2} transitions of ^{6}Li at high magnetic field. The dark state is created in a micrometer-sized region within a one-dimensional channel connecting two superfluid reservoirs.

Hydrogen bonding is a central concept in chemistry and biochemistry, and so it continues to attract intense study. Here, we examine hydrogen bonding in the HS dimer, in comparison with the well-studied water dimer, in unprecedented detail. We record a mass-selected IR spectrum of the HS dimer in superfluid helium nanodroplets.

The microscopic pair structure of superfluids has profound consequences on their properties. Delocalized pairs are predicted to be less affected by static disorder than localized pairs. Ultracold gases allow tuning the pair size via interactions, where for resonant interaction superfluids show largest critical velocity, i.

Article Synopsis
- The research focuses on the Higgs mode in a strongly interacting Fermi gas transitioning from a fermionic to a bosonic superfluid.
- By adjusting the interaction strength of the gas, the researchers excite the Higgs mode and measure its resonance frequency and line width based on different interaction strengths and temperatures.
- They discover that at low temperatures, the resonance frequency aligns with a theoretical model, and both frequency and line width remain relatively stable with temperature, contrary to theoretical expectations but in line with another recent study.
Circuit quantum electrodynamics detection of induced two-fold anisotropic pairing in a hybrid superconductor-ferromagnet bilayer.

Article Synopsis
- Hybrid systems show promise for exploring unconventional superconductivity and topological states, but their small size makes them difficult to measure with standard techniques.
- The authors present a new microwave-based probe to measure superfluid density in micrometer-sized superconductors, revealing a two-fold anisotropic superfluid density in a superconductor-ferromagnet bilayer.
- The findings suggest a link between spin dynamics and superconductivity, and the technique can potentially be applied to investigate other low-dimensional materials with fragile superconducting properties.
