• Abstract: We demonstrate atom-resolved detection of itinerant bosonic $^{23}$Na and fermionic $^6$Li quantum gases, enabling the direct in situ measurement of interparticle correlations. In contrast to prior work on lattice-trapped gases, here we realize microscopy of quantum gases in the continuum. We reveal Bose-Einstein condensation with single-atom resolution, measure the enhancement of two-particle $g^{(2)}$ correlations of thermal bosons, and observe the suppression of $g^{(2)}$ for fermions; the Fermi or exchange hole. For strongly interacting Fermi gases confined to two dimensions, we directly observe non-local fermion pairs in the BEC-BCS crossover. We obtain the pairing gap, the pair size, and the short-range contact directly from the pair correlations. In situ thermometry is enabled via the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. Our technique opens the door to the atom-resolved study of strongly correlated quantum gases of bosons, fermions, and their mixtures.

• Probing pair correlations in Fermi gases with Ramsey-Bragg interferometry [41.94295877935867]
  We propose an interferometric method to probe pair correlations in a gas of spin-1/2 fermions. The method consists of a Ramsey sequence where both spin states of the Fermi gas are set in a superposition of a state at rest and a state with a large recoil velocity. The off-diagonal long-range order is directly reflected in the behavior of the interferometric signal for long interrogation times.

  We investigate the ground-state properties of single-component Fermi gases with short-range repulsive interactions. A comparison against recently derived second-order perturbative results shows good agreement in a broad range of interaction strength. We find remarkable agreement with a recently derived fourth-order expansion that includes $p$-wave contributions.

  We investigate local quantum field theories for 1D Bose and Fermi gases with contact interactions. Because of this three-body coupling, the three-body contact characterizing a local correlation appears in the energy relation for fermions. The triads for the Tonks-Girardeau gas, which is a Bose gas with a hardcore repulsion, as well as the Bose-Fermi correspondence in the presence of three-body attractions are also discussed.
