Flow induced superfluidty and other novel effects in spin orbit coupled fermionic quantum gases

ORAL

Abstract

Recent experiments on fermions with synthetic gauge fields produce systems with spin-orbit coupling, detuning and Zeeman fields. We show by theoretical considerations that such systems have many interesting features when the fermions experience a contact attraction. In particular, a flow (finite centre of mass momentum) produces a ``stronger'' superfluid. In addition, we show that such systems can be tuned to have very interesting normal states paving way for studying spin-orbit coupled Fermi liquids.
