“Pairing of Spin Polarized Fermi Gases”

Ultracold atomic gases are versatile platforms for realizing novel many-body states of matter by virtue of the ability to tune parameters such as interaction, density, dimensionality, and spin-polarization. I will describe experiments that have produced phase diagrams of spin-polarized Fermi gasses in 1D, 3D, and in the 1D-3D dimensional crossover. I will conclude with our progress to create the holy grail of this research, which is the observation of the “elusive” FFLO superfluid state, a state that exhibits coexisting magnetic and superconducting order.
