Introduction The Unitary Fermi Gas A dilute gas of non-relativistic particles with two species. Unitary limit: only one relevant scale Universality
Any relevance for the real world? It has only recently become possible to reach the unitary limit experimentally by tuning the scattering length by making use of a Feshbach resonance: Scattering length of Na atoms near a Feshbach resonance S. Inouye et al., Nature 392, 151 (1998).
Example of universality M. Horikoshi et al., Science, 327, 442 (2010). Measured using the two lowest spin states of 6Li atoms in a magnetic field. Ideal Fermi Gas This is a universal function applicable to all strongly interacting fermionic systems. Unitary Fermi Gas
Parameters charactarizing the unitary fermi gas (1) The “Bertsch problem” What are the ground state properties of the many-body system composed of spin ½ fermions interacting via a zero-range, infinite scattering length contact interaction. (posed at the Many-Body X conference, Seattle, 1999) Or, more specifically: what is the value of ξ? Bertsch parameter

Conclusions • Unitary Fermi Gas is a strongly coupled system that can be studied experimentally • Test + challenge for theory • Operator product expansion techniques have been applied to this system recently • We have formulated sum rules for the single particle self energy and have analyzed them by using MEM • Using this approach, we can extract the whole single-particle spectrum with just two inputparameters (Bertsch parameter and Contact)
Outlook • Generalization to finite temperature • Study possible existence of pseudo-gap • Role of so far ignored higher-dimensional operators • Spectral density off the unitary limit • Study other channels • …
