摘要：
We theoretically investigate the thermal-transport properties of a unitary Fermi gas between two reservoirs connected by a quantum point contact. We find several distinguished properties that are qualitatively different from those of weak or noninteracting gas systems. The particle transport figure of merit is drastically enhanced in the unitary regime. The Lorentz number violates the Wiedemann-Franz law, demonstrating the breakdown of Fermi liquid. These transport properties are the hallmarks of the unitary Fermi gas and are attributed to the existence of preformed Cooper pairs. The variation of the thermal-transport coefficients due to the changing of the transmission coefficient is also studied.
