Critical Temperature Curve in the BEC-BCS Crossover

Understand

The strongly-correlated regime of the BCS-BEC crossover can be realized by diluting a system of two-component fermions with a short-range attractive interaction.

• We investigate this system via a novel continuous-space-time diagrammatic determinant Monte Carlo method and determine the universal curve $T_c/\epsilon_F$ for the transition temperature between the normal and the superfluid states as a function of the scattering length with the maximum on the BEC side.
• At unitarity, we confirm that $T_c/\epsilon_F = 0.152(7)$.
