The research develops along two main lines: (i) Theoretical investigation of the BCS-BEC crossover in ultracold atoms with narrow-to-broad Feshbach resonances, using beyond-mean field methods. This study encompasses both analytical methods (Green’s functions and local-field theories for the response function) and numerical methods. The theory developed can be used to simulate the BCS-BEC crossover in condensed-matter high-Tc superconductor – systems. We also envision the extension of this method to unbalanced Fermi mixtures, to establish a quantum simulator for portions of the QCD phase diagram. (ii) Study of Aubry-like transition in trapped finite-size ultracold ions, with special attention to assess the universality class and the tole of the range of the interactions vs. dimensionality. With these studies, we envision to establish a quantum simulator for nanofriction problems relevant to condensed-matter physics and for high energy problems. The study encompasses the use of analytical and quantum simulational methods. This research is performed in collaboration with Vladan Vuletic (MIT) and Giovanna Morigi (Saarbrucken University, Germany).
