We solve the three-body problem of an ultracold Fermi gas with parabolic confinement length $a_\perp$ and 3D scattering length $a$. On the two-body level, there is a Feshbach-type resonance at $a_\perp/a\approx 1.46$, and a dimer state for…
Ultracold gases of three distinguishable particles with large scattering lengths are expected to show rich few-body physics related to the Efimov effect. We have created three different mixtures of ultracold 6Li atoms and weakly bound 6Li2…
We consider three-body recombination into deep dimers in a mass-imbalanced two-component atomic gas. We use an optical model where a phenomenological imaginary potential is added to the lowest adiabatic hyper-spherical potential. The…
Stable bound quantum states are ubiquitous in nature. Mostly, they result from the interaction of only pairs of particles, so called two-body interactions, even when large complex many-particle structures are formed. We show that…

We have analyzed our recently-measured three-body loss rate coefficient for a Bose-Einstein condensate of spin-polarized metastable triplet 4He atoms in terms of Efimov physics. The large value of the scattering length for these atoms,…
We present a new two-channel integrable model describing a system of spinless fermions interacting through a p-wave Feshbach resonance. Unlike the BCS-BEC crossover of the s-wave case, the p-wave model has a third order quantum phase…
Autoionizing electronic states are common intermediates in processes initiated by electron impact or high-energy radiation. These states belong to the continuous spectrum of the Hamiltonian, and as such cannot be treated with methods…
In this paper we discuss the recent discovery of the universality of the three-body parameter (3BP) from Efimov physics. This new result was identified by recent experimental observations in ultracold quantum gases where the value of the…
