We investigate separations of trapped balanced two-component atomic Fermi
gases with repulsive contact interaction. Candidates for ground-state densities
are obtained from the imaginary-time evolution of a nonlinear
pseudo-Schr\"odinger equation in three dimensions, rather than from the
cumbersome variational equations. With the underlying hydrodynamical approach,
gradient corrections to the Thomas-Fermi approximation are conveniently
included and are shown to be vital for reliable density profiles. We provide
critical repulsion strengths that mark the onset of phase transitions in a
harmonic trap. We present transitions from identical density profiles of the
two fermion species towards isotropic and anisotropic separations for various
confinements, including harmonic and double-well-type traps. Our proposed
method is suited for arbitrary trap geometries and can be straightforwardly
extended to study dynamics in the light of ongoing experiments on degenerate
Fermi gases.Comment: 11 pages, 17 figure
We study a binary spin mixture of a zero-temperature repulsively interacting ^{6}Li atoms using both the atomic-orbital and density-functional approaches. The gas is initially prepared in a configuration of two magnetic domains and we determine the frequency of the spin-dipole oscillations which are emerging after the repulsive barrier, initially separating the domains, is removed. We find, in agreement with recent experiment [G. Valtolina et al., Nat. Phys. 13, 704 (2017)NPAHAX1745-247310.1038/nphys4108], the occurrence of a ferromagnetic instability in an atomic gas while the interaction strength between different spin states is increased, after which the system becomes ferromagnetic. The ferromagnetic instability is preceded by the softening of the spin-dipole mode.
We investigate how relativistic acceleration of the observers can affect the performance of the quantum teleportation and dense coding for continuous variable states of localized wavepackets. Such protocols are typically optimized for symmetric resources prepared in an inertial frame of reference. A mismatch of the sender's and the receiver's accelerations can introduce asymmetry to the shared entanglement, which has an effect on the efficiency of the protocol that goes beyond entanglement degradation due to acceleration. We show how these asymmetry losses can be reduced by an extra LOCC step in the protocols.
We generalize 1 + 1-dimensional formalism derived by Ahmadi et. al. [Phys. Rev. D 93, 124031] to investigate an effect of relativistic acceleration on localized two-mode Gaussian quantum states in 3 + 1-dimensional spacetime. The following framework is then used to analyze entanglement of the Minkowski vacuum as witnessed by two accelerating observers that move either collinearly or noncollinearly. *
