Influence of Induced Interactions on Superfluid Properties of Quasi-Two Dimensional Dilute Fermi Gases With Spin-Orbit Coupling

We study the effects of induced interactions on the pairing gap, transition temperature and chemical potential of a quasi-two dimensional Fermi gas of atoms with spin-orbit coupling. We find that these mean-field parameters are significantly modified when induced interactions are taken into account. We also investigate the implications of induced interactions corrections for the BCS-BEC crossover driven by spin-orbit coupling, that happens even for small (compared to the Fermi energy) values of the binding energy.

Critical exponents of the disorder-driven superfluid-insulator transition in one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates

We investigate the nature of the superfluid-insulator quantum phase transition driven by disorder for non-interacting ultracold atoms on one-dimensional lattices. We consider two different cases: Anderson-type disorder, with local energies randomly distributed, and pseudo-disorder due to a potential incommensurate with the lattice, which is usually called the Aubry-André model. A scaling analysis of numerical data for the superfluid fraction for different lattice sizes allows us to determine quantum critical exponents characterizing the disorder-driven superfluid-insulator transition. We also briefly discuss the effect of interactions close to the non-interacting quantum critical point of the Aubry-André model.
