  2. Motivation Infinite systems (metal superconductors, ultra-cold gases, liquid helium, etc.) • Fluctuations are absent or negligible • Superfuild-normal, liquid-gas, shape phase transitions, etc. • Described well by many-body theories such as BCS, RPA or QRPA Finite systems (atomic nuclei, ultra-small metallic grains, etc.) • Strong quantal and thermal fluctuations • Phase transitions are smoothed out • The conventional BCS, RPA or QRPA fail in a number of cases (collapsing points, in light systems, at T0, at strong or weak interaction, etc. ) When applied to finite small systems, to be reliable, the BCS, RPA and/or QRPA need to be corrected to take into account the effects due to quantal and thermal fluctuations.

  19. Conclusions • A microscopic self-consistent approach to pairing called the SCQRPA is developed. It includes the effects of QNF and dynamic coupling to pair vibrations. It works for any values of G, N, T and M, even at large N. • Because of QNF: - The sharp SN phase transition is smoothed out in finite systems; - A tiny rotating system in the normal state (at M > Mc and T=0) can turn superconducting at T0. • A modified formula is suggested for extracting the pairing gap from the differences of total energies of odd and even systems at T0. By subtracting the uncorrelated single-particle motion, the new formula produces a pairing gap in reasonable agreement with the exact results. • A novel approach called CE(MCE)-LNSCQRPA is proposed, which embeds the LNSCQRPA eigenvalues into the CE (MCE). The results obtained are very close to the exact solutions, the FTQMC ones, and experimental data. It is simple and workable for a wider range of mass (N>14) at T≠0.
