چکیده

We show that in an atomic Bose gas near a Feshbach resonance a quantum phase transition occurs between a phase with only a molecular Bose-Einstein condensate and a phase with both an atomic and a molecular Bose-Einstein condensate. We show that the transition is characterized by an Ising order parameter. We also determine the phase diagram of the gas as a function of magnetic field and temperature: the quantum critical point extends into a line of finite temperature Ising transitions.

A Feshbach resonance in the s-wave scattering length occurs if the energy of the two atoms in the incoming open channel is close to the energy of a bound state in a coupled closed channel. Starting from the microscopic hamiltonian that describes this situation, we derive the effective atom-molecule theory for a Bose gas near a Feshbach resonance. In order to take into account all two-body proce...

Dilute Fermi and Bose Gases

We give a unified perspective on the properties of a variety of quantum liquids using the theory of quantum phase transitions. A central role is played by a zero density quantum critical point which is argued to control the properties of the dilute gas. An exact renormalization group analysis of such quantum critical points leads to a computation of the universal properties of the dilute Bose g...

Properties of a Dilute Bose Gas near Feshbach Resonance

In this paper, properties of a homogeneous Bose gas with Feshbach resonance are studied in the dilute region at zero temperature. In the stationary state, there are condensations of atoms and molecules. The ratio of the molecule density to the atom density is proportional to na. There are two types of excitations, molecular excitations and atomic excitations. Atomic excitations are gapless, con...

Matter-wave amplification and phase conjugation via stimulated dissociation of a molecular Bose-Einstein condensate

We propose a scheme for parametric amplification and phase conjugation of an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate sBECd via stimulated dissociation of a BEC of molecular dimers consisting of bosonic atoms. This can potentially be realized via coherent Raman transitions or using a magnetic Feshbach resonance. We show that the interaction of a small incoming atomic BEC with a sstationaryd molecular BE...

We describe the properties of a mixture of fermionic and bosonic atoms, as they are tuned across a Feshbach resonance associated with a fermionic molecular state. Provided the number of fermionic atoms exceeds the number of bosonic atoms, we argue that there is a critical detuning at which the Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is completely depleted. The phases on either side of this quantum phase...
