Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 240401 (2009) [4 pages]Atomic Color Superfluid via Three-Body LossReceived 18 August 2009; revised 13 November 2009; published 9 December 2009 Large three-body loss rates in a three-component Fermi gas confined in an optical lattice can dynamically prevent atoms from tunneling so as to occupy a lattice site with three atoms. This effective constraint not only suppresses the occurrence of actual loss events, but stabilizes BCS-pairing phases by suppressing the formation of trions. We study the effect of the constraint on the many-body physics using bosonization and density matrix renormalization group techniques, and also investigate the full dissipative dynamics including loss for the example of 6Li. © 2009 The American Physical Society URL:
