Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 220407 (2002) [4 pages]High-Temperature Superfluidity of Fermionic Atoms in Optical LatticesReceived 10 July 2002; published 12 November 2002 Fermionic atoms confined in a potential created by standing wave light can undergo a phase transition to a superfluid state at a dramatically increased transition temperature. Depending upon carefully controlled parameters, a transition to a superfluid state of Cooper pairs, antiferromagnetic states or d-wave pairing states can be induced and probed under realistic experimental conditions. We describe an atomic physics experiment that can provide critical insight into the origin of high-temperature superconductivity in cuprates. © 2002 The American Physical Society URL:
