Observation of Dynamical Super Efimovian Expansion in a Unitary Fermi Gas

We report an observation of a dynamical super Efimovian expansion in a two-component strongly interacting Fermi gas by engineering time dependent external harmonic trap frequencies. When trap frequency is followed as \([1/4t^2+1/t^2\lambda\log(t/t_*)]^{1/2}\), where \(t_*\) and \(\lambda\) are two control parameters, and the change is faster than a critical value, the expansion of such the quantum gas shows a novel dynamics due to its spatial and dynamical scaling symmetry. A clear double-log periodicity, which is a hallmark of the super Efimov effect, is emergent for the cloud size in the expansion. The universality of such scaling dynamics is verified both in the non-interacting limit and in the unitarity limit. Observing super-Efmovian evolution represents a paradigm in probing universal properties and allows in a new way to study many-body nonequilibrium dynamics with experiments.
