@article{ISI:000343090400005, abstract = {A cold atomic realization of a quantum correlated state of many fermions on a lattice, eg. superfluid, has eluded experimental realization due to the entropy problem. Here we propose a route to realize such a state using holographic lattice and confining potentials. The potentials are designed to produces aband insulating state (low heat capacity) at the trap center, and a metallic state (high heat capacity) at the periphery. The metal ``cools″ the central band insulator by extracting out the excess entropy. The central band insulator can be turned into a superfluid by tuning an attractive interaction between the fermions. Crucially, the holographic lattice allows the emergent superfluid to have a high transition temperature - even twice that of the effective trap temperature. The scheme provides a promising route to a laboratory realization of a fermionic lattice superfluid, even while being adaptable to simulate other many body states.}, article-number = {6655}, author = {Haldar, Arijit and Shenoy, Vijay B.}, doi = {10.1038/srep06655}, issn = {2045-2322}, journal = {SCIENTIFIC REPORTS}, month = {OCT 17}, orcid-numbers = {Haldar, Arijit/0000-0003-1962-1707}, times-cited = {1}, title = {Cooling a Band Insulator with a Metal: Fermionic Superfluid in a Dimerized Holographic Lattice}, unique-id = {ISI:000343090400005}, volume = {4}, year = {2014} }
