Introduction and Motivation:Feshbach Resonances
Normal State of a unitary Fermi gas with equal masses:
Normal State with unequal masses
T=0: μ-h phase diagram of the system :What happens for unequal masses?
Trapped System: Local Density Approximation (LDA)
How does the trapped configuration depend on the mass ratio and trapping parameters?

BEC of molecules: strong coupling, kFas<<1,interaction is repulsive

BCS-limit: weak coupling, kF|as|<<1,interaction is attractive,

space,

system is strongly correlated, but its properties do not depend on value of scattering length as (independent even of sign of as) everything is expressed in terms of kF

• BCS mean-field leads to quantitatively different results at Unitarityfor the Chandrasekhar-Clogston limit and the critical polarization
• different species with κ≠1 and different restoring forcespermits to engineer novel exotic configurations ,
as e.g. sandwiched superfluid:can be best understood by studying the phase diagram
with trap (an)isotropy
