Abstract

Dynamics of strongly interacting Fermi gases, consisting of a 50-50 mixture of two different fermionic species, is investigated. For the equation of state we consider a Padé [2/2] approximations, which gives the weak-coupling perturbative formula (up to 4th order) in the low density regime, the unitary-limit Monte Carlo result in the high density regime, and reproduces the 4-fermion prediction for dimer-dimer scattering length in the BEC region. We use a time-dependent LDA to derive various properties of the Fermi gas under a harmonic confinement and compare them with the data of very recent experiments of 6Li atoms across a Feshbach resonance.
