Concomitant Larkin–Ovchinikov states in polarized atomic gases

Fermionic superfluids continue to be a topic of current interest and debate in condensed matter and sub-nuclear physics. Recent experiments with laser-cooled atomic gas clouds of fermions seek to explore this physics and point out that discrepancies might arise due to different confining geometries. We reported on realistic numerical simulations with up to 100'000 atoms (a number comparable to that in the actual experiments) that shed light into what might be going on in the laboratory realizations.
