Colder t han Out er Spac e
The cosmic microwave background (Left over from the ‘big bang’) has a temperature of about 2.7K. This is the temperature in the depths of outer space.
At about 1/30,000,000 of this temperature (100nK) certain atoms can start to exist in exactly the same place at the same time. They exhibit literally visible quantum mechanical effects. A condensate of Bosons.
Other atoms never occupy exactly the same state no matter how cold they get, the Fermions, but exhibit their own kind of ‘quantum degeneracy’.

Why Worldwide Interest
"Advanced Research Projects" , European Network of research sponsored by the European Community : research groups in Western and Central Europe.
Besides being at the current frontier in fundamental physical research , these studies hold promise of wholly novel technical achievements in regard to the construction of matter-wave lasers and to the development of quantum computing methods.
More recently a strong interest has also arisen in ultracold gases of fermionic isotopes, the main aim being the realization of novel superfluid states of matter.

How Magnetic Trap
The lasers are turned off The atoms spin polarised An inhomogeneous B field applied
Axially symmetric, harmonic TOP,IP Dipole attracted to local minima

(& therefore lost from the trap

11
How Evapourative Cooling
Like sweating Liquid -> gas =>
• <energy> in water molecule evapouratedis greater than <energy>, so the meandecreases as molecules are evapourated
Efficient, 2% molecule loss gives 20% decrease in temperature in remaining molecules

13
How Fermion cooling
Evapourative cooling relies on thermalisation, ie elastic collisions between atoms.
Identical fermions cannot scatter in an s-wave and so cannot thermalise fast enough for the ‘simple’ form of this process to work.
Fermions can be cooled sympathetically by a second species, either of fermions or bosons, or by using a single species in a mixture of hyperfine sub-states.

How Trap Frequencies
The Fermi temperature depends on the details of the trap, and is characterised by the geometric mean of the trap frequencies.

Applications – Optical Lattice
Multiple, phase-locked lasers can be used to set up an interference pattern with regions of high and low intensity.
In 2D or 3D this is called an optical lattice. Its like an artificial crystal that can be controlled.
Cooled atoms can now be transferred to such a lattice in large numbers.

super-fluidity is crucial, but hard. Cooper pairs of fermionic atoms can

Applications - Clocks
New clocks could be designed using these ultra- cold atoms so that the atoms collide less frequently, which would lead to even greater accuracy.
More precise clocks would help digital communications systems and improve deep space navigation

Validity of the Model
•For the condensate, Thomas-Fermi approximation: we neglect the kinetic energy•Hartree-Fock approximation for the spin-polarized Fermi cloud: we treat it as an ideal Fermi gas subjected to an effective potential•binary collisions: diluteness condition

Phase Separation abf>0
For strong repulsive interactions the total energy is minimized if the bosons and the fermions occupy different spatial regions. In this regime it exist several structurally stable configurations corresponding to different energies. In Q2D and in Q1D the lowest energy configuration is always the “standard” one with a core of bosons surrounded by the fermions.
It is amazing that in Q1D the system undergoes phase separation for low number of fermions!!!!!!!!
