Tunabilities in quantum gases Dimensionality Interaction External potential Continuous/discrete systems Disorder Components/population imbalance Static/dynamics
Dimensionality N ~100-1000 atoms thanks to Markus Greiner
Interaction D. Jaksch et al., PRL81, 3108 (98) Indirectly by lasers Directly by Feshbach resonance
External potential confinement+interaction new methods demanded
Continuous/discrete systems z potential along z Inhomogeneous 1D Gaudin/Yang model Observed by H. Moritz et al., PRL94, 210401 (2005)

Outline • Introduction • Motivation: spin-dependent potential • off-diagonal confinement • Some results • Conclusions
Conclusions: * Fermions can be phase-separated in a spin-dependent external potential by repulsive interaction * Increase the trap imbalance, Mott phase ferromagnetic insulating phase * Critical U exists in the spin-dependent system
