Many layers of information in the atomic density distribution Not only the mean of the density distribution of ultracold gases is relevant. The fluctuations around the average can contain very useful information that is not accessible via the mean values.

Fluctuations in a system at thermal equilibrium Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem Response of the system to applied perturbations e.g. for number fluctuations in the grand canonical ensemble:

Suppression of fluctuations in an ideal Fermi Gas Classical ideal gas: Ideal Fermi gas: Sub-Poissonian fluctuations Poissonian fluctuations

Suppression of density fluctuations in an ideal Fermi Gas

Suppression of fluctuations in an ideal Fermi Gas harmonic confinement

Measuring the fluctuations 1. Photon shot noise In bright field observation the spatial distribution of detected photons is going to show the typical projection noise more photons reduced relative noise Two divided frames at low intensity: Two divided frames at high intensity:

Measuring the fluctuations 2. Technical noise - fringes, fringes, fringes... due to reflections, scattering, dust etc. - Detector noise, CCD response fluctuations By carefully choosing a detector with high QE and very short acquisition times (a few 100µs between atom and reference shot, vibrations!) and operating at sufficient light levels we obtain images that are photon shot noise limited in the atom free regions.

Measuring the fluctuations 3. Noise due to nonlinear effects IMPRINT MECHANISMS -Intensities close to the atomic saturation intensity -Recoil induced detuning (Li6: Doppler shift of 0.15 MHz for one photon momentum) -Optical pumping into dark states imprinted structure in the atomic cloud flat background (very good fringe cancellation) for the very light Li atoms, the recoil induced detuning is the dominant nonlinear effect

Can a Fermi gas with short-range interactions be a ferromagnet? We can’t say for sure. But we looked really hard and we couldn’t find any evidence that it can. Fully interpreting the results is challenging, but to us they suggest that it can’t.
