Non-equilibium BCS state in a Fermi gas — •Alexandra Behrle, Timothy Harrison, Martin Link, Andreas Kell, Kuiyi Gao, and Michael Köhl — Physikalisches Institut, University of Bonn, 53115 Bonn, Germany

Ultracold Fermi gases with tunable interactions have been widely used to investigate the BEC-BCS crossover in the last decade and superfluidity of Fermi gases with different interactions have shown a variety of rich physics. So far, the focus of research has mainly been on the equilibrium state of an attractive gas of cooper pairs. Non-equilibrium coherent dynamics of the BCS state was proposed for studying collective modes, pair formation and excitations in superconductivity, however, experimental realization has been hindered by the difficulty of performing fast enough changes in to the system. In this talk, we will show our efforts in preparing and detecting a non-equilibrium BCS-superfluid of fermionic 6Li atoms. We focus on the coherent dynamics with fast modulation and quenched interactions using fast ramps across the Feshbach resonance.
