报告摘要:  

Low-energy excitations of one dimensional (1D) interacting fermions typically split into two independent Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (TLLs), each of which carries either spin or charge. This phenomenon is called spin-charge separation--a hallmark of 1D many-body physics. Although there have been more than 40 years of research in this field and evidence for spin-charge separation has been reported in 1D solid state materials, definite experimental observation of this phenomenon is challenging.

In this talk I will report on our recent precise observation of the TLL theory of spin-charge separation in the trapped 1D ultracold Fermi gas. This work, for the first time, experimentally verifies the TLL theory of the spin-charge separation and provides strong evidence for nonlinear TLL effects, beyond the TLL model. It is a paradigmatic example of quantum many-body physics, offers new insight into quantum physics. (Science,376, 1305–1308 (2022)). Moreover, we will further discuss the spin incoherent TLL, which solely displays a propagating charge mode but not a spin mode, and its application in quantum metrology.
