Quantum defect theory for high-partial-wave cold collisions
We introduce a choice of reference wave functions that allows multichannel quantum defect theory (MQDT) to describe ultracold collisions involving high-partial-wave quantum numbers L. This requires a careful standardization of the MQDT reference wave functions at long range to ensure their linear independence. To illustrate the simplicity and accuracy of the resulting theory, we perform a compr...
متن کاملMultichannel Quantum Defect Theory for cold molecular collisions
Multichannel Quantum Defect Theory (MQDT) is shown to be capable of producing quantitatively accurate results for low-energy atom-molecule scattering calculations. With a suitable choice of reference potential and short-range matching distance, it is possible to define a matrix that encapsulates the short-range collision dynamics and is only weakly dependent on energy and magnetic field. Once t...
متن کاملWave packets in quantum theory of collisions
Two methodological troubles of the quantum theory of collisions are considered. The first is the undesirable interference of the incident and scattered waves in the stationary approach to scattering. The second concerns the nonstationary approach to the theory of collisions of the type a + b → c + d. In order to calculate the cross section one uses the matrix element 〈cd|S|ab〉 of the S-matrix. ...
متن کاملMultichannel quantum-defect theory for slow atomic collisions
We present a multichannel quantum-defect theory for slow atomic collisions that takes advantages of the analytic solutions for the long-range potential and both the energy and angular momentum insensitivities of the short-range parameters. The theory provides an accurate and complete account of scattering processes, including shape and Feshbach resonances, in terms of a few parameters such as t...
متن کاملCold collisions in strong laser fields: partial wave analysis of magnesium collisions
We have developed Monte Carlo wave function simulation schemes to study cold collisions between magnesium atoms in a strong red-detuned laser field. In order to address the strong-field problem, we extend the Monte Carlo wave function framework to include the partial wave structure of the threedimensional system. The average heating rate due to radiative collisions is calculated with two differ...
