Topology in Free Fermion Systems
We study the relationship between bipartite entanglement, subsystem particle number and topology in a half-filled free fermion system. It is proposed that the spin-projected particle numbers can distinguish the quantum spin Hall state from other states, and can be used to establish a new topological index for the system. Furthermore, we apply the new topological invariant to disordered system a...
متن کاملThe Canonical Heat Capacity of Normal Mesoscopic Fermion Systems: The Temperature Evolution and Particle Number Oscillations
The heat capacity of an individual mesoscopic normal (nonsuperconducting) fermion system treated as a canonical ensemble of independent particles confined in a spatial area with fixed confinement parameters is studied in a wide range of particle numbers N < 105 and temperatures which vary from values close to zero up to the Fermi energy εF . The temperature evolution of the heat capacity is nat...
متن کاملAbnormal superfluid fraction of harmonically trapped few-fermion systems.
Superfluidity is a fascinating phenomenon that, at the macroscopic scale, leads to dissipationless flow and the emergence of vortices. While these macroscopic manifestations of superfluidity are well described by theories that have their origin in Landau's two-fluid model, our microscopic understanding of superfluidity is far from complete. Using analytical and numerical ab initio approaches, t...
متن کاملInhomogeneous state of few-fermion superfluids.
The few-fermion atomic gas is an ideal setting to explore inhomogeneous superfluid pairing analogous to the Larkin-Ovchinnikov state. Two up and one down-spin atom is the minimal configuration that displays an inhomogeneous pairing density, whereas imbalanced systems containing more fermions present a more complex pairing topology. With more than eight atoms trapped the system approaches the ma...
متن کاملTopology and Low Lying Fermion Modes
Low lying fermionic modes are believed to play an important rôle in QCD. This review covers some of the recent developments in the study of the relationship of low lying fermion modes with topology in QCD. The study of topology in general is not covered here. In particular, fermionic eigenmodes (including zero modes) are important in 3 areas discussed here: (1) low lying modes in particle spect...
