Abstract

We use quantum Monte Carlo simulations to study the properties of ultra-cold fermionic atoms on optical lattices when confined in one-dimensional harmonic trapping potentials. In particular, we analyze the case of attractive interactions by considering the attractive fermionic Hubbard model. We find that in the trapped case, the density-density and pairing correlations are characterized by the anomalous dimension of a corresponding periodic system. The fluctuations corresponding to these quantum critical behavior render the SU(2) symmetry breaking by the trapping potential irrelevant, and the system can establish a supersolid phase also inside a confined geometry.
