Perfect Fluidity in Atomic Physics

Abstract

Experimental results obtained at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have been interpreted in terms of a strongly interacting quark gluon plasma. The strongly interacting plasma is characterized by ``perfect fluidity'', i.e. a ratio of shear viscosity to entropy density that saturates a proposed lower bound. In this contribution we explore the possibility that a similar phenomenon takes place in a strongly coupled non-relativistic Fermi liquid in which the scattering length between the Fermions is infinitely large.
