It is well-known that cold atoms near s-wave Feshbach resonances have universal properties that are insensitive to the short-range details of the interaction. What is less known is that atoms near higher partial wave Feshbach resonances…

In a Feshbach resonance, the effective s-wave scattering length grows when one moves toward the resonance point, and eventually diverges at this point. There is one characteristic energy scale, $\delta_c$, defined as, in the negative side…
The low-energy scattering of three bosons or distinguishable particles with short-range interactions is characterized by a fundamental parameter, the three-body scattering hypervolume. Its imaginary part is directly related to the…
We rapidly change the scattering length a_s of a 87Rb Bose-Einstein condensate by means of a Feshbach resonance, simultaneously releasing the condensate from its harmonic trapping potential. When a_s is changed from positive to negative,…
We discuss the atom-atom scattering problem across a Feshbach resonance in a two-dimensional dilute Bose gas at zero temperature, in the limit where the s-wave scattering length exceeds the width of the vertical confinement. We determine a…

Low-energy universality in atomic few-body systems as a result of a large two-body scattering length has gained a lot of attention recently. Here, I discuss recent progress in describing the three-body recombination of cold atoms in terms…
