Abstract

We investigate the ground-state properties of an attractively interacting degenerate Fermi gas coupling with a high-finesse optical cavity. We predict a new mixed phase with both the superfluid and superradiant properties for the intermediate fermion-fermion interaction and fermion-photon coupling strengths. Moreover, in this mixed phase a relatively large ratio of the scaled polarization to the dimensionless mean-field gap, which is in contrast to that in the conventional superfluid regime can be obtained. We also figure out rich phase diagrams depending crucially on the atomic resonant frequency (effective Zeeman field) and address briefly the experimental detection of our predicted quantum phases.
