Phase diagram of the rotating two-component Fermi gas including vortices

Abstract

We determine the conditions under which superfluidity with and without quantized vortices appears in a weakly interacting two-component atomic Fermi gas that is trapped in a rotating cylindrical symmetric harmonic potential. We compute the phase diagram as a function of rotation frequency, scattering length, temperature, total number of trapped atoms, and population imbalance.
