Counting statistics for noninteracting fermions in a rotating trap
Résumé
We study the ground state of noninteracting fermions in a two-dimensional harmonic trap rotating at angular frequency . The support of the density of the Fermi gas is a disk of radius . We calculate the variance of the number of fermions, , inside a disk of radius centered at the origin for in the bulk of the Fermi gas. We find rich and interesting behaviors in two different scaling regimes, (i) and (ii) , where is the angular frequency of the oscillator. In the first regime we find that and we calculate and as functions of , , and . We also predict the higher cumulants of and the bipartite entanglement entropy of the disk with the rest of the system. In the second regime, the mean fermion density exhibits a staircase form, with discrete plateaus corresponding to filling successive Landau levels, as found in previous studies. Here, we show that is a discontinuous piecewise linear function of within each plateau, with coefficients that we calculate exactly, and with steps whose precise shape we obtain for any . We argue that a similar piecewise linear behavior extends to all the cumulants of and to the entanglement entropy. We show that these results match smoothly at large with the above results for . These findings are nicely confirmed by numerical simulations. Finally, we uncover a universal behavior of near the fermionic edge. We extend our results to a three-dimensional geometry, where an additional confining potential is applied in the direction.
