Abstract

We theoretically study two atoms with pp-wave interaction in a one-dimensional waveguide, and investigate how the transverse anisotropy of the confinement affects the two-body state, especially, the properties of the resonance. For bound-state solution, we find there are totally three two-body bound states due to the richness of the orbital magnetic quantum number of pp-wave interaction, while only one bound state is supported by ss-wave interaction. Two of them become nondegenerate due to the breaking of the rotation symmetry under transversely anisotropic confinement. For scattering solution, the effective one-dimensional scattering amplitude and scattering length are derived. We find the position of the pp-wave confinement-induced resonance shifts apparently as the transverse anisotropy increases. In addition, a two-channel mechanism for confinement-induced resonance in a one-dimensional waveguide is generalized to pp-wave interaction, which was proposed only for ss-wave interaction before. All our calculations are based on the parameterization of the 40^{40}K atom experiments, and can be confirmed in future experiments.
