Quantum scattering problem without partial-wave analysis

Abstract

We have suggested a method for treating different quantum few-body dynamics without traditional using of the partial-wave analysis. It happened that this approach was very efficient in quantitative analysis of low-dimensional ultracold few-body systems arising in confined geometry of atomic traps. Here we discuss its application to a recently suggested mechanism of resonant molecule formation in confined two-component atomic mixture with transferring the energy release to the center-of-mass excitation of forming molecules. The author considers this result as one of the most significant in his scientific carrier which started from the model of resonant muonic molecule formation [S.I. Vinitsky et al., Sov. Phys. JETP 47 , 444 (1978)], one of the most citing works of S.I. Vinitsky.

Quantum scattering problem without partial-wave analysis

Vladimir S. Melezhik

We have suggested a method for treating different quantum few-body dynamics without usual partial-wave analysis. With this approach new results were obtained in the physics of ultracold atom-atom collisions and ionization and excitation/deexitation of helium ions. The developed computational scheme opens new possibilities for analysis the actual problem of ultracold atom wave-packets collisions in strong laser or magnetic confinement.

Resonances in ultracold collisions confined by atomic traps

Vladimir S. Melezhik

We have developed a method for treating ultracold pair collisions in confined geometry of tight atomic waveguides. With this approach we have predicted and analyzed a few novel resonant and multichannel effects induced by confining traps in ultracold atomic collisions. In this report we discuss our model yielding the shifts and widths of magnetic Feshbach resonances in tight atomic waveguides. We also briefly discuss a resonant mechanism of molecule formation in atomic traps with transferring the energy release to the center-of-mass excitation while forming molecule and dipolar confinement-induced resonances in waveguides. These results could potentially be used experimentally.

Nondirect product discrete variable representation in multidimensional quantum problems

Vladimir S. Melezhik

We have developed a method for treating different quantum few-body dynamics without traditional partial-wave analysis. The key element of the method is a nondirect product discrete variable representation (npDVR) we have suggested and developed in application to the time-dependent mutidimensional Schrödinger equations. It happened that this approach was very efficient in quantitative analysis of low-dimensional ultracold few-body systems arising in confined geometry of atomic traps. As an example, we consider the numerical analysis of the four-dimensional Schrödinger equation describing the resonant molecule formation in confined two-component atomic mixture with transferring the energy release to the center-ofmass excitation of forming molecules.

Few-body physics with ultracold atomic and molecular systems in traps

D. Blume

Few-body physics has played a prominent role in atomic, molecular and nuclear physics since the early days of quantum mechanics. It is now possible-thanks to tremendous progress in cooling, trapping and manipulating ultracold samples-to experimentally study few-body phenomena in trapped atomic and molecular systems with unprecedented control. This review summarizes recent studies of few-body phenomena in trapped atomic and molecular gases, with an emphasis on small trapped systems. We start by introducing the free-space scattering properties and then investigate what happens when two particles, bosons or fermions, are placed in an external confinement. Next, various three-body systems are treated analytically in limiting cases. Our current understanding of larger two-component Fermi systems and Bose systems is reviewed, and connections with the corresponding bulk systems are established. Lastly, future prospects and challenges are discussed. Throughout this review, commonalities with other systems such as nuclei or quantum dots are highlighted.

Confinement-induced resonances for a two-component ultracold atom gas in arbitrary quasi-one-dimensional traps

Vittorio Peano, Michael Thorwart, Christophe Mora +1 more

We solve the two-particle s-wave scattering problem for ultracold atom gases confined in arbitrary quasi-one-dimensional (1D) trapping potentials, allowing for two different atom species. As a consequence, the centre-of-mass and relative degrees of freedom do not factorize. We derive bound-state solutions and obtain the general scattering solution, which exhibits several resonances in the 1D scattering length induced by the confinement. We apply our formalism to two experimentally relevant cases: (i) interspecies scattering in a two-species mixture, and (ii) the two-body problem for a single species in a non-parabolic trap.
