"Here, we realize a Fermi gas featuring both strong, tunable contact interactions and #photon-mediated, spatially structured long-range interactions in a transversely driven high-finesse #optical cavity. Above a critical long-range interaction strength, density #wave order is stabilized in the system, which we identify via its #superradiant light-#scattering properties."

Density-wave ordering in a unitary Fermi gas with photon-mediated interactions - Nature

An experiment with atoms and photons provides a fully tunable and microscopically controllable platform for the experimental study of the interplay of superfluidity and density-wave order.
