Nearly Perfect Fluidity in Cold Atomic Fermi Gases
Speaker:Thomas Schaefer (North Carolina State University)
Abstract:In dilute atomic Fermi gases it is possible to control the interaction experimentally using Feshbach resonances. The "unitarity" limit is the case in which the s-wave scattering length is taken to infinity while the effective range is zero. The Fermi gas at unitarity is a conformal, strongly interacting quantum fluid. In this talk I will summarize recent attempts to extract transport coefficients of the dilute Fermi gas at unitarity from experiments using scaling flows. We analyze data from collective mode, elliptic flow, and rotational flow experiments. We compare with expectations from kinetic theory, and discuss alternative strategies for extracting transport properties.
