  We present an alternative way of computing nonrelativistic single-particle
spectra from holography. To this end, we introduce a mass gap in a holographic
Dirac semimetal and subsequently study the nonrelativistic limit of the
resulting spectral functions. We use this method to compute the momentum
distributions and the equation of state of our nonrelativistic fermions, of
which the latter can be used to extract all thermodynamic properties of the
system. We find that our results are universal and reproduce many
experimentally and theoretically known features of an ultracold Fermi gas at
unitarity.
