Imbalanced superfluidity: The quantum mystery that defies solution

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The project focuses on ground-breaking research in ultra-cold atomic Fermi gases, the fastest developing area in twenty-first century physics. Australia has already invested heavily in ultra-cold atomic Bose gases including atom lasers. An experimental program on atomic Fermi gases has also been initiated in the ARC Centre of Excellence for Quantum-Atom Optics (ACQAO). Our project, if successful, will help elevate Australia to a major international research centre in cold Fermi gases, complementing its ongoing strength developed through the ACQAO experiments, and will bring fundamental knowledge that could have a significant and profound influence upon future technologies: for example, novel electronics, lossless power transmission and magnetic levitation.
