Abstract
We show that atomic Fermi gases in quasi-two-dimensional (2D) geometries are promising for achieving superfluidity. In the regime of BCS pairing for weak attraction, we calculate the critical temperature and analyze possibilities of increasing the ratio of to the Fermi energy. In the opposite limit, where a strong coupling leads to the formation of weakly bound quasi-2D dimers, we find that their Bose-Einstein condensate will be stable on a long time scale.
