Pairing phenomena in quasi-2D Fermi gases

Meera Parish
University College London, UK

The two-dimensional Fermi gas with short-range interactions provides a basic model for understanding pairing and superconductivity in quasi-2D materials. Recent advances in cold-atom experiments have now made it possible to investigate quasi-2D Fermi gases in a controlled manner. In this talk, I will discuss recent progress towards understanding the finite-temperature behaviour of the 2D Fermi gas and our interpretation of current quasi-2D experiments on the BCS-BEC crossover [1-3].
