We investigate the fermionic quasiparticle branch of superfluid Fermi gases in the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) to Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) crossover and calculate the quasiparticle lifetime and energy shift due to its coupling with the collective mode. The only close-to-resonance process that low-energy quasiparticles can undergo at zero temperature is the emission of a bosonic excitation from the phononic branch. Close to the minimum of the branch we find that the quasiparticles remain undamped, allowing us to compute corrections to experimentally relevant quantities such as the energy gap, location of the minimum, effective mass, and Landau critical velocity.

In contrast to the Dirac-cone materials in which the low-energy spectrum features a pseudospin-1/2 structure, Lieb and Dice lattices both host triply degenerate low-energy excitations. Here, we discuss moiré structures involving twisted bilayers of these lattices, which are shown to exhibit a tunable number of isolated flat bands near the Fermi level due to the bipartite nature of their structures. These flat bands remain isolated from the high-energy bands even in the presence of small higher-order terms and chiral-symmetry-breaking interlayer tunneling.

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.

Article Synopsis
- The research explores how to trigger superconductivity in very thin semiconductor materials using excitons to create an effective attraction between electrons, expanding beyond traditional phonon-mediated superconductivity.
- By including interactions related to trions, the study shows that the electron-exciton interaction varies significantly with frequency and momentum, leading to a transition between weakly bound Cooper pairs and a superfluid state of bipolarons.
- Despite the complexity of strong-coupling conditions, the resulting bipolarons are lightweight, allowing for critical temperatures that can reach up to 10% of the Fermi temperature, suggesting that two-dimensional material heterostructures could be valuable for achieving high-temperature superconductivity when electron doping and trion effects are optimized.
Strange Metal and Superconductor in the Two-Dimensional Yukawa-Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev Model.

The two-dimensional Yukawa-Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (2D-YSYK) model provides a universal theory of quantum phase transitions in metals in the presence of quenched random spatial fluctuations in the local position of the quantum critical point. It has a Fermi surface coupled to a scalar field by spatially random Yukawa interactions. We present full numerical solutions of a self-consistent disorder averaged analysis of the 2D-YSYK model in both the normal and superconducting states, obtaining electronic spectral functions, frequency-dependent conductivity, and superfluid stiffness.

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.
