Published Aug 26, 2002• 27 citations

Abstract

We develop a variational theory of the crossover from the one-dimensional (1D) regime to the 3D regime for ultracold Bose gases in thin waveguides. Within the 1D regime we map out the parameter space for fermionization, which may span the full 1D regime for suitable transverse confinement.

Dilute Fermi Gas in Quasi-One-Dimensional Traps: From Weakly Interacting Fermions via Hard Core Bosons to a Weakly Interacting Bose Gas

I. V. Tokatly

We study equilibrium properties of a cold two-component Fermi gas confined in a quasi-one-dimensional trap of the transverse size ${l}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}$. In the dilute limit ($n{l}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}\ensuremath{\ll}1$, where $n$ is the 1D density) the problem is exactly solvable for an arbitrary 3D fermionic scattering length ${a}_{F}$ . When ${l}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}/{a}_{F}$ goes from $\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\infty}$ to $+\ensuremath{\infty}$, the system successively passes three regimes: weakly interacting Fermi gas, hard core Bose gas, and weakly coupled Bose gas. The regimes are separated by two crossovers at ${a}_{F}\ensuremath{\sim}\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}n{l}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}^{2}$. In conclusion, we discuss experimental implications of these results.We study equilibrium properties of a cold two-component Fermi gas confined in a quasi-one-dimensional trap of the transverse size ${l}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}$.

Mapping out the quasicondensate transition through the dimensional crossover from one to three dimensions

Julien Armijo, T. Jacqmin, Karen V. Kheruntsyan +1 more

By measuring the density fluctuations in a highly elongated weakly interacting Bose gas, we observe and quantify the transition from the ideal gas to a quasicondensate regime throughout the dimensional crossover from a purely one-dimensional (1D) to an almost three-dimensional (3D) gas. We show that that the entire transition region and the dimensional crossover are described surprisingly well by the modified Yang-Yang model. Furthermore, we find that at low temperatures the linear density at the quasicondensate transition scales according to an interaction-driven scenario of a longitudinally uniform 1D Bose gas, whereas at high temperatures it scales according to the degeneracy-driven critical scenario of transverse condensation of a 3D ideal gas.By measuring the density fluctuations in a highly elongated weakly interacting Bose gas, we observe and quantify the transition from the ideal gas to a quasicondensate regime throughout the dimensional crossover from a purely one-dimensional (1D) to an almost three-dimensional (3D) gas.

Quasi-1D Bose-Einstein condensates in the dimensional crossover regime

Fabrice Gerbier

We study theoretically the dimensional crossover from a three-dimensional elongated condensate to a one-dimensional condensate as the transverse degrees of freedom get frozen by tight confinement, in the limit of small density fluctuations, i.e. for a strongly degenerate gas. We compute analytically the radially integrated density profile at low temperatures using a local density approximation, and study the behavior of phase fluctuations with the transverse confinement. Previous studies of phase fluctuations in trapped gases have either focused on the 3D elongated regimes or on the 1D regime. The present approach recovers these previous results and is able to interpolate between them. We show in particular that in this strongly degenerate limit the shape of the spatial correlation function is insensitive to the transverse regime of confinement, pointing out to an almost universal behavior of phase fluctuations in elongated traps.We study theoretically the dimensional crossover from a three-dimensional elongated condensate to a one-dimensional condensate as the transverse degrees of freedom get frozen by tight confinement, in the limit of small density fluctuations, i.e. for a strongly degenerate gas.

Fermi-Bose mapping and N-particle ground state of spin-polarized fermions in tight atom waveguides

Marvin D. Girardeau, Maxim Olshanii

A K-matrix for waveguide confined spin-polarized fermionic atoms recently computed by Granger and Blume is identified, in the low-energy domain, with a contact condition for one-dimensional (1D) spinless fermions. Difficulties in consistently formulating the contact conditions in terms of interaction potentials are discussed and a rigorous alternative variational reformulation is constructed. A duality between 1D fermions and bosons with zero-range interactions suggested by Cheon and Shigehara is shown to hold for the effective 1D dynamics of a spin-polarized Fermi gas with 3D p-wave interactions and that of a Bose gas with 3D s-wave interactions in a tight waveguide. This generalizes the mapping from impenetrable bosons (TG gas) to free fermions and is used to derive the equation of state of an ultracold spin-polarized fermionic vapor in a tight waveguide. Near a 1D confinement-induced resonance one has a "fermionic TG gas" which maps to an ideal Bose gas.A K-matrix for waveguide confined spin-polarized fermionic atoms recently computed by Granger and Blume is identified, in the low-energy domain, with a contact condition for one-dimensional (1D) spinless fermions.

Theoretical results of strongly interacting quasi-one-dimensional Fermi gases in the BCS–BEC crossover

Zhou Li, Hang Dong, Yong-li Ma

We present a quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) Bose–Fermi mixture model of strongly interacting Fermi gases through the confinement-induced resonance (CIR) to describe 3D fermions trapped in a Q1D geometry along the z axis. Based on the 1D Bethe ansatz method, we analyse the ground and excited states of the Q1D system and derive their integral equations in terms of the momentum distributions in the thermodynamic limit. By applying a Legendre expansion method, the crossover from the BCS superfluid of singlet pairs to the BEC of molecules is calculated in the ground and excited states. We then obtain the dependence of several physical quantities on the inverse of a dimensionless coupling parameter a ⊥ / a with a dimensionless density parameter na ⊥ of Q1D where is the transverse size and ω ⊥ is the 2D harmonic trap frequency in the xy plane. Our results can go back to the smooth 1D crossover when na ⊥ → 0. The theoretical results quantitatively show that the strongly coupling Fermi gas in the Q1D behaves as a Bose–Fermi mixture near the crossover.We present a quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) Bose–Fermi mixture model of strongly interacting Fermi gases through the confinement-induced resonance (CIR) to describe 3D fermions trapped in a Q1D geometry along the z axis.

Three-body problem for ultracold atoms in quasi-one-dimensional traps

Christophe Mora, Reinhold Egger, Alexander O. Gogolin

We study the three-body problem for both fermionic and bosonic cold-atom gases in a parabolic transverse trap of length scale ${a}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}$. For this quasi-one-dimensional (quasi-1D) problem, there is a two-body bound state (dimer) for any sign of the 3D scattering length $a$ and a confinement-induced scattering resonance. The fermionic three-body problem is universal and characterized by two atom-dimer scattering lengths ${a}_{\mathit{ad}}$ and ${b}_{\mathit{ad}}$ . In the tightly bound ``dimer limit'' ${a}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}∕a\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty}$, we find ${b}_{\mathit{ad}}=0$ and ${a}_{\mathit{ad}}$ is linked to the 3D atom-dimer scattering length. In the weakly bound ``BCS limit'' ${a}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}∕a\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\infty}$, a connection to the Bethe ansatz is established, which allows for exact results. The full crossover is obtained numerically. The bosonic three-body problem, however, is nonuniversal: ${a}_{\mathit{ad}}$ and ${b}_{\mathit{ad}}$ depend both on ${a}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}∕a$ and on a parameter ${R}^{*}$ related to the sharpness of the resonance. Scattering solutions are qualitatively similar to fermionic ones. We predict the existence of a single confinement-induced three-body bound state (trimer) for bosons.We study the three-body problem for both fermionic and bosonic cold-atom gases in a parabolic transverse trap of length scale ${a}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}$.
