| Summary: | We present a theoretical investigation into the expansion dynamics of Rydberg-dressed ultracold Fermi gases. The effective interaction potential induced by Rydberg dressing significantly modifies the intrinsic properties and dynamical behavior of the quantum gas. The strength and range of these interactions can be precisely tuned by varying the intensity and detuning of the applied laser field. By employing mean-field theory and utilizing the density distribution of the atomic cloud to describe the quantum system dynamics, we theoretically describe the time-dependent evolution of the atomic cloud during the free expansion process, encompassing both non-interacting and unitary Fermi gases. Notably, the specific quantum states of the ground-state atoms play a pivotal role in shaping the effective interaction potential within the Rydberg-dressed quantum system. We elucidate how the interaction potential influences the rate and mode of the atom cloud’s expansion by hydrodynamic expansion arising from Rydberg-dressed atoms in distinct spin hyperfine states. This investigation may deepen our understanding of the behavior and interactions in quantum many-body systems and offer broad potential for future applications like the exploration of novel quantum phase transitions and emergent phenomena. |
