Spontaneous interlayer superfluidity in bilayer systems of cold polar molecules
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent experimental progress in producing ultracold polar molecules with a net electric dipole moment opens up possibilities for realizing quantum phases governed by the long-range and anisotropic dipole-dipole interactions. In this work we predict the existence of experimentally observable broken-symmetry states with spontaneous interlayer coherence in cold polar molecule bilayers. These exotic states, which are manifestations of collective bilayer quantum entanglement, appear due to strong repulsive interlayer interactions and exhibit properties of superfluids, ferromagnets, and excitonic condensates.

Interlayer superfluidity in bilayer systems of fermionic polar molecules.
We consider fermionic polar molecules in a bilayer geometry where they are oriented perpendicularly to the layers, which permits both low inelastic losses and superfluid pairing. The dipole-dipole interaction between molecules of different layers leads to the emergence of interlayer superfluids. The superfluid regimes range from BCS-like fermionic superfluidity with a high Tc to Bose-Einstein (...

We investigate the quantum phase transitions of bosonic polar molecules in a two-dimensional double layer system. We show that an interlayer bound state of dipoles (dimers) can be formed when the dipole strength is above a critical value, leading to a zero-energy resonance in the interlayer s-wave scattering channel. In the positive detuning side of the resonance, the strong repulsive interlaye...
متن کاملNovel p-wave superfluids of fermionic polar molecules
Recently suggested subwavelength lattices offer remarkable prospects for the observation of novel superfluids of fermionic polar molecules. It becomes realistic to obtain a topological p-wave superfluid of microwave-dressed polar molecules in 2D lattices at temperatures of the order of tens of nanokelvins, which is promising for topologically protected quantum information processing. Another fo...
متن کاملOn the Calculation of Room Temperature Correlated Interlayer Transport in Bilayer Heterojunction Systems
We discuss a methodology for calculating the interlayer transport characteristics of electron-hole bilayer graphene at spontaneous coherence using path integral Monte Carlo and recursive scattering matrices at room temperature. We find transport characteristics very similar to that of the quantum Hall bilayer case in that there is a large peak in the differential interlayer conductance at low i...
متن کاملFinite-temperature pseudospin torque effect in graphene bilayers
We use self-consistent quantum transport theory to investigate the influence of layer Fermi energy and temperature on the interlayer transport properties of bilayer graphene in the regime of excitonic superfluidity. We conclude that at low temperature the critical tunneling currents and quasiparticle penetration depths are well explained by the existing zero-temperature pseudospin torque model....
