Description

The relation between few- and many-body dynamics in an isolated quantum system opens up a new path toward understanding the strongly interacting regime. Our project aimed to realize a homogeneous two-dimensional Fermi gas of ultracold lithium atoms and to explore the correlations between particles, in order to reveal the phase structure of the many-body system. In a joint experiment-theory effort we have studied pairing fluctuations near the superfluid phase transition, and how they affect the universal transport properties of quantum fluids.
