Fermions with tunable interactions... In the lithium lab we produce ultracold Fermi gases of 6Li to explore out-of-equilibrium dynamics and transport phenomena in strongly correlated fermionic matter. Atoms are confined into light-imprinted potential structures, simulating the motion of electrons in solid state devices. Our main goal is the study of two-dimensional strongly correlated phases, such as superfluidity across the BCS-BEC crossover and its robustness to disorder.

Lithium Lab powered by ERC

The Lithium Lab is funded by ERC Consolidator Grant "QuFerm2D: Quantum Simulation of two-dimensional fermionic systems" awarded in 2012 to Giacomo Roati.
