Final Report Summary - THERMODYNAMIX (Dynamics and Thermodynamics in Mixed Dimensions)
ThermoDynaMix is part of the broader Quantum Simulation Program aiming at using the tools of atomic physics to study some open problems in quantum many-body physics. ThermoDynaMix focused on mixtures of atomic species and in the course of the project several experimental situations were addressed:
1) It was shown that ultracold atoms could be used to study high-energy physics thanks to a formal mathematical analogy between the behavious of magnetically trapped atoms with the so-called Weyl particles describing massless relativistic particles.
2) We addressed the physics of dual Bose/Fermi superfluid. We investigated superfluid counterflows that revealed a novel damping mechanism generalizing Landau's original proposal. We also showed that molecule fomation in this system could be used as a quantitative probe of short range correlations in strongly correlated ensembles.
3) On the theory side we have clarified the validity of the resummation techniques used to regularize diagrammatic Monte-Carlo series.
