Abstract<br />

We propose a model to realize a fermionic superfluid state in an optical lattice, which is one <strong>of</strong><br />

the central problems in the area <strong>of</strong> ultracold quantum gases due to cooling problem. The idea <strong>of</strong><br />

our model hinges on a characteristically low entropy state, a band-insulator in an optical bilayer<br />

system and tuning the interaction in such a system to realize the superfluid state. The system is<br />

designed such that the superfluid phase beats other competing phases such as charge density wave<br />

as we show by detailed Monte Carlo calculations. Within the Gaussian approximation, we show<br />

that the superfluid state has a high characteristic temperature scale <strong>of</strong> the order <strong>of</strong> hopping energy.<br />

We suggest a route for the possible experimental realization <strong>of</strong> this state in an optical lattice.<br />
