Collective excitations of a trapped Fermi gas at finite temperature

We study collective excitations of a trapped Fermi gas at finite temperature using the Bogoliubov-deGennes mean-field theory in conjunction with the generalized random phase approximation. The collective excitations are analyzed through the density response of a monopole excitation. We show the appearance of several modes at the normal fluid - superfluid phase transition temperature: Higgs mode-like pairing amplitude modulations, analogues of the second sound in the trapped gas, and an edge mode that is also the strongest mode in the response.

Density response of a trapped Fermi gas: a crossover from the pair vibration mode to the Goldstone mode

We consider the density response of a trapped two-component Fermi gas. Combining the Bogoliubov-deGennes method with the random phase approximation allows the study of both collective and single particle excitations. Calculating the density response across a wide range of interactions, we observe a crossover from a weakly interacting pair vibration mode to a strongly interacting Goldstone mode. The crossover is associated with a depressed collective mode frequency and an increased damping rate, in agreement with density response experiments performed in strongly interacting atomic gases.

Probing the FFLO phase by double occupancy modulation spectroscopy

We propose here that for a spin-imbalanced two-component attractive Fermi gas loaded in a 1D optical lattice in presence of an harmonic confining potential, the observation of the change in the double occupancy after a lattice depth modulation can provide clear evidence of the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) phase. Simulating the time evolution of the system, we can characterize the double occupancy spectrum for different initial conditions, relating its features to the FFLO wavevector $q$. In particular, the narrowing of the width of the spectrum can be related, through Bethe-ansatz equations in the strongly interacting limit, to the FFLO wavevector $q$.
