Effective potentials for atom-atom interaction at low temperatures

Atomic Physics 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

We discuss the concept and design of effective atom-atom potentials that accurately describe any physical processes involving only states around the threshold. The existence of such potentials gives hope to a quantitative, and systematic, understanding of quantum few-atom and quantum many-atom systems at relatively low temperatures.
