It is shown that short-range pair correlations in a strongly interacting Fermi gas follow a simple universal law described by Tan's relations, which is achieved through measurements of the static structure factor which displays a universal scaling proportional to the ratio of Tan's contact to the momentum C/q.
Abstract
We show that short-range pair correlations in a strongly interacting Fermi gas follow a simple universal law described by Tan's relations. This is achieved through measurements of the static structure factor which displays a universal scaling proportional to the ratio of Tan's contact to the momentum $\mathcal{C}/q$. Bragg spectroscopy of ultracold $^{6}\mathrm{Li}$ atoms from a periodic optical potential is used to measure the structure factor for a wide range of momenta and interaction strengths, providing broad confirmation of this universal law. We calibrate our Bragg spectra using the $f$-sum rule, which is found to improve the accuracy of the structure factor measurement.

Fermi gases in one dimension: From Bethe ansatz to experiments

TL;DR: In this paper, theoretical and experimental developments for one-dimensional Fermi gases are discussed. But the exact results obtained for Bethe ansatz integrable models of this kind enable the study of the nature and microscopic origin of a wide range of quantum many-body phenomena driven by spin population imbalance, dynamical interactions, and magnetic fields.

Momentum sharing in imbalanced Fermi systems

TL;DR: High-energy electron-scattering measurements show that even in heavy, neutron-rich nuclei, short-range interactions between the fermions form correlated high-momentum neutron-proton pairs, which has implications ranging from nuclear few-body systems to neutron stars and may also be observable experimentally in two-spin–state, ultracold atomic gas systems.

The BCS–BEC crossover: From ultra-cold Fermi gases to nuclear systems

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the BCS-BEC crossover in ultra-cold Fermi gases and nuclear matter, and discuss the mean field treatment of the superfluid phase, both for homogeneous and inhomogeneous systems.

Comparing and contrasting nuclei and cold atomic gases

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare and contrast the developments of cold atomic gases with the physics of nuclei since many concepts, techniques, and nomenclatures are common to both fields.

Time-Dependent Impurity in Ultracold Fermions: Orthogonality Catastrophe and Beyond

TL;DR: In this paper, a range of new experiments on ultracold fermions can explore impurity-induced quantum dynamics, a classical topic in condensed matter physics that has seen very limited experimental observations.
