The image captures the iconic myth of “Carp Jumping Over the Dragon Gate” from Chinese culture, symbolizing great success.

Caption

In this artistic representation, two carps, each clasping a jade bead in its mouth, symbolize fermions with opposite spins. The Dragon Gate represents both the superfluid transition and the pseudogap. The depiction of the carps leaping over the Dragon Gate suggests the pairing above the superfluid phase transition temperature. This pairing phenomenon, in turn, leads to the appearance of the pseudogap.
