Abstract
We study a single-species polarized Fermi gas tuned across a narrow p-wave Feshbach resonance. We show that in the course of a BEC-BCS crossover the system can undergo a magnetic field-tuned quantum phase transition from a px-wave to a px+i py-wave superfluid. The latter state, that spontaneously breaks time-reversal symmetry, furthermore undergoes a topological px+ i py to px+ i py transition at zero chemical potential μ. In two-dimensions, for μ>0 it is characterized by a Pfaffian ground state exhibiting topological order and non-Abelian excitations familiar from fractional quantum Hall systems.
