Summary: We study induced pairing between two identical fermions mediated by an attractively interacting quantum impurity in two-dimensional systems. Based on a stochastic variational method (SVM), we investigate the influence of confinement and finite interaction range on the ground state of the quantum three-body problem. We find that confinement and a finite interaction range can enhance trimer stability and overcome Coulomb repulsion, opening possibilities for electron pairing beyond conventional paradigms.

Summary: The scattering properties of spin-polarized Fermi gases are mainly influenced by p-wave interactions, which differ from s-wave interactions due to their angular dependence and the necessity of an effective range. This article investigates the dependence of shear viscosity and thermal conductivity on the effective range and scattering volume in both weakly and strongly interacting limits for a three-dimensional spin-polarized Fermi gas in the normal phase. The study reveals that, while the shear viscosity and thermal conductivity depend on the effective range near resonance, the Prandtl number, which represents the ratio of momentum to thermal diffusivity, does not exhibit an explicit interaction dependence at resonance or for weak interactions in the low-energy range. Unlike s-wave systems, p-wave scattering shows an additional resonance at weak attraction, resulting in a significant dip in shear viscosity at specific temperatures.

Summary: This study focuses on the repulsive Fermi polaron in a two-component, two-dimensional system of fermionic atoms, investigating properties such as polaron energy, quasiparticle residue, and effective mass using the diffusion Monte Carlo method. The results highlight the importance of considering the effective range and scattering length to reproduce experimental results, as well as the establishment of universality through different model potentials for the interaction between the Fermi sea and the impurity. This underscores the significance of quantum fluctuations and beyond mean-field effects in accurately describing the Fermi polaron problem.

Summary: This paper theoretically examines the continuity between atomic and molecular Fermi superfluids in a Bose-Fermi mixture near the Feshbach resonance. A mean-field framework is constructed based on the perturbative expansion of the b-f-F Feshbach coupling in a two-channel model. The resulting effective Hamiltonian exhibits a continuity between atom-atom to molecule-molecule Cooper pairings and becomes equivalent to the two-band-superconductor model with a pair-exchange coupling.

Summary: We conducted experimental research on the interspecies Feshbach spectrum in a mixture of 167Er (F = 19/2, mF =-19/2)-6Li (F = 1/2, mF = 1/2) atoms at microkelvin temperatures. These temperatures were achieved through sympathetic cooling with 174Yb as a third species. By investigating the inelastic collisional properties of Er-Li, interspecies Feshbach resonances were identified, including numerous narrow resonances and six resonances with widths above 1 G. These broader resonances hold great promise for future research on novel superfluid states and Efimov states in large mass-imbalanced, all-fermionic two-component systems.

Summary: At temperatures below the Fermi temperature TF, the coupling of magnetic fluctuations to particle-hole excitations in a Fermi gas leads to non-analytic corrections and a first-order phase transition to itinerant ferromagnetism. However, for a Fermi gas with SU(N > 2)-symmetry in three space dimensions, the ferromagnetic phase transition is first order in agreement with Landau's mean-field theory. By performing unrestricted Hartree-Fock calculations, we find that the order parameter undergoes a finite jump across the transition and no tri-critical point is observed.

Summary: Gravitational waves distort equilibrium matter globally and can be detected using laser interferometers. However, gravitational waves also create local nonequilibrium stresses inside matter, which could potentially lead to alternative detection methods. The gravitational wave-to-matter coupling coefficient K, which depends on the material, is poorly known for most substances. In this study, we calculate K for a superfluid Fermi gas near unitarity using large-N techniques and find K = n 12m, matching the result for free Dirac fermions at zero temperature. Our prediction can be tested theoretically and experimentally in a nonperturbative manner.

Summary: This study investigates collective excitations in the superfluid state of Fermi condensed charged gases. It examines the dispersion and damping of collective excitations at nonzero temperatures, and considers the coexistence and interaction of different branches of collective excitations: plasma oscillations, pair-breaking Higgs modes, and Carlson-Goldman phonon-like excitations. The path integral methods for superfluid Fermi gases and for Coulomb gas are combined into a unified formalism to account for plasmonic modes. The spectra of collective excitations are determined in two ways: from the spectral functions and from the complex poles of the fluctuation propagator. A resonant avoided crossing of different modes is shown, accompanied by resonant enhancement of the response provided by the pair-breaking modes due to their interaction with plasma oscillations, which may facilitate the experimental observation of the pair-breaking modes.

Summary: A density functional theory based on polymer self-consistent field theory is capable of accurately predicting molecular bonding in systems of two atoms. The theory successfully identifies the formation of homonuclear diatomic molecules for elements from hydrogen up to neon, as well as the stability of heteronuclear molecules CO and HF under ambient conditions. Most of the bond lengths agree well with experimental results, although deviations are observed for O-2 and F-2.

Summary: In quantum mechanics, each particle is described by a complex valued wave-function characterized by amplitude and phase. When many particles interact, a specific quantum coherence known as many-body quantum coherence can emerge. This article demonstrates the interplay between single-particle's phase coherence and many-body quantum coherence by studying the time-dependent interference of an interacting degenerate Fermi gas. The results show distinct features of single-particle phase coherence and many-body quantum coherence in the interferogram.

Summary: In this paper, we present a method to quantitatively tune the occupation ratio of the energy band when transferring a three-dimensional Fermi gas into a one-dimensional optical lattice by jointly varying the trapping potentials of the optical dipole trap and the one-dimensional lattice. This method provides a route to study the dependence of many-body interaction on dimensionality.

Summary: The effects of impurities on the induced interactions corrections are detrimental for the transition temperature and tricritical point in both balanced and imbalanced Fermi gases. Impurities strongly suppress particle-hole fluctuations for large impurity parameter. The Chandrasekhar-Clogston limit of an imbalanced Fermi gas with induced interactions has been determined for both pure and impure regimes at unitarity.

Summary: This paper investigates the use of the quantum phase estimation (QPE) algorithm in calculating high-energy excited states characterized by promotion of electrons occupying core-level shells. Results obtained with QPE are compared with various high-accuracy many-body techniques, discussing the feasibility of identifying challenging shake-up states and targeting excitations from specific centers in molecules. Additionally, the application of the lowest-order Trotter formula to reduce complexity of ansatz without affecting error is discussed.

Summary: The study introduces a method to reliably determine critical parameters for engineering quantum devices, such as band offset, band bending profile, and number of occupied quantum well subbands. By directly measuring quantum well states and valence bands and core levels of interfaces, a better understanding of the band structure at semiconductor-metal and semiconductor-superconductor interfaces can be achieved.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of planar embedding schemes on the time-to-solution of all-to-all-connected quadratic binary optimization problems using simulated quantum annealing on classical hardware. Results suggest that standard analog quantum annealing hardware is at a disadvantage in terms of solution time overhead compared to classical digital annealers, serving as a benchmark for improvements in the standard quantum annealing protocol.
