Non-Equilibrium Dynamics of Fermi Gases Near A Scattering Resonance

We present recent dynamic measurements of fermionic potassium ($^{40}$K) near Fano-Feshbach scattering resonances. In our experiments, we start with a weakly or non-interacting Fermi gas and initiate strong interactions on a timescale that is fast compared to the equilibration mechanisms in the system quasi-instantaneous quench. Equally fast measurements allow us to follow the non-equilibrium many-body dynamics. First, we discuss time-resolved radio-frequency (rf) spectroscopy, and its use to probe the evolution of the short-range part of the many-body wave function -- i.e., the contact. Second, we discuss spin-echo measurements that reveal the nature of transverse spin transport. Most recently, we have studied a Fermi gas with repulsive interactions in the metastable upper branch of the energy spectrum near a s-wave scattering resonance.
