چکیده
We solve the two-particle s-wave scattering problem for ultracold atom gases confined in arbitrary quasi-one-dimensional trapping potentials, allowing for two different atom species. As a consequence, the center-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.

Photon-assisted confinement-induced resonances for ultracold atoms.
We solve the two-particle s-wave scattering for an ultracold-atom gas confined in a quasi-one-dimensional trapping potential which is periodically modulated. The interaction between the atoms is included via Fermi's pseudopotential. For a modulated isotropic transverse harmonic confinement, the atomic center of mass and relative degrees of freedom decouple and an exact solution is possible. The...
متن کاملControlled collisions of a single atom and an ion guided by movable trapping potentials
We consider a system composed of a trapped atom and a trapped ion. The ion charge induces in the atom an electric dipole moment, which attracts it with an r−4 dependence at large distances. In the regime considered here, the characteristic range of the atom-ion interaction is comparable or larger than the characteristic size of the trapping potential, which excludes the application of the conta...
متن کاملBreakdown of integrability in a quasi-one-dimensional ultracold bosonic gas
Thermalization does not occur in integrable systems [1], since the number of their integrals of motion equals exactly the number of their degrees of freedom, thus such a system always “remembers” its initial state in the course of its dynamical evolution. In an integrable system the finite spread of initial energy may lead only to relaxation towards the generalized Gibbs (or fully constrained t...
متن کاملConfinement-induced resonances in low-dimensional quantum systems.
We report on the observation of confinement-induced resonances in strongly interacting quantum-gas systems with tunable interactions for one- and two-dimensional geometry. Atom-atom scattering is substantially modified when the s-wave scattering length approaches the length scale associated with the tight transversal confinement, leading to characteristic loss and heating signatures. Upon intro...
متن کاملPolaron-to-polaron transitions in the radio-frequency spectrum of a quasi-two-dimensional Fermi gas.
We measure radio-frequency spectra for a two-component mixture of a 6Li atomic Fermi gas in a quasi-two-dimensional regime with the Fermi energy comparable to the energy level spacing in the tightly confining potential. Near the Feshbach resonance, we find that the observed resonances do not correspond to transitions between confinement-induced dimers. The spectral shifts can be fit by assuming...
