The two-body problem of ultra-cold atoms in a harmonic trap

Patrick Shea, Brandon P. van Zyl, Rajat K. Bhaduri

We consider two bosonic atoms interacting with a short-range potential and trapped in a spherically symmetric harmonic oscillator. The problem is exactly solvable and is relevant for the study of ultra-cold atoms. We show that the energy spectrum is universal, irrespective of the shape of the interaction potential, provided its range is much smaller than the oscillator length.

Revealing Majorana fermion states in a superfluid of cold atoms subject to a harmonic potential

Tao Zhou, Z. D. Wang

We here explore Majorana fermion states in an $s$-wave superfluid of cold atoms in the presence of spin-orbital coupling and an additional harmonic potential. The superfluid boundary is induced by a harmonic trap. Two locally separated Majorana fermion states are revealed numerically based on the self-consistent Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations. The local density of states is calculated, through which the signatures of Majorana excitations may be indicated experimentally.
