Funded Activity Summary

Density modulations and superconductivity in two-dimensional quantum gases. The project aims to investigate the interplay between pairing (superfluidity) and pattern formation (eg stripes) in quasi-two-dimensional quantum systems. The close proximity of these phases is a recurring theme in layered materials which could hold the key to understanding phenomena such as high temperature superconductivity. The project plans to investigate these phases in dipolar gases, which provide a clean, controlled environment for novel many-body phenomena. Within this setting, it plans to test established theories of pairing and develop accurate descriptions of density modulations, thus providing fundamental insights into strongly correlated systems. The new states of matter discovered in the project could form the basis for new quantum devices; in particular, a deeper understanding of stripe phases may allow us to use them for data storage.
