We study three-body recombination of fully spin-polarized ${}^6$Li atoms that are interacting resonantly in relative p-waves. Motivated by a recent experiment, we focus on negative scattering volumes where three atoms recombine into a deep…
We study a one-dimensional quantum problem of two particles interacting with a third one via a scale-invariant subcritically attractive inverse square potential, which can be realized, for example, in a mixture of dipoles and charges…
We show that four heavy fermions interacting resonantly with a lighter atom (4+1 system) become Efimovian at mass ratio 13.279(2), which is smaller than the corresponding 2+1 and 3+1 thresholds. We thus predict the five-body Efimov effect…
We address the microscopic origin of the universal three-body parameter that fixes the spectrum of three-atom systems in the Efimov regime. We identify it with the van der Waals two-body correlation, which causes the three-atom system to…
Near two-body unitarity, the three-boson system is characterized by an approximate discrete scale invariance manifest in a geometric tower of bound states (the Efimov effect). In the absence of a strong four-body force, the four-boson…
We determine analytically how Efimov trimer states are modified by three-body losses within the model of Braaten and Hammer. We find a regime where the energies approach the positive real axis and the decay rates vanish.
Here we present a four-channel model that incorporates a magnetically tunable Feshbach resonance in a system of three atoms that interact via pairwise van der Waals interactions. Our method is designed to model recent experiments where the…
We study a system of spinless fermions in two dimensions with a short-range interaction fine-tuned to a p-wave resonance. We show that three such fermions form an infinite tower of bound states of orbital angular momentum l=\pm1 and their…
Three-body loss resonances associated with heavy-heavy-light Efimov states have been observed for over a decade in ultracold mixtures tuned near interspecies Feshbach resonances. For light-light-heavy systems, observing such resonances has…
We consider a multichannel generalization of the Fermi pseudopotential to model low-energy atom-atom interactions near a magnetically tunable Feshbach resonance, and calculate the adiabatic hyperspherical potential curves for a system of…
We consider the low-energy particle-particle scattering properties in a periodic simple cubic crystal. In particular, we investigate the relation between the two-body scattering length and the energy shift experienced by the lowest-lying…
We study the semisuper-Efimov effect, which is found for four identical bosons with a resonant three-body interaction in 2D, in various systems. Based on solutions of bound-state and renormalization-group equations, we first demonstrate an…
We investigate the energy dependence of inelastic processes in systems which possess Efimov states. We consider the three-body recombination rate $K_3$ where three free atoms interact to produce an atom--dimer pair, and the relaxation rate…
Non Efimovian $N$-body resonances are investigated in the regime of a large two-body s wave scattering length. In view of a universal description of low-energy bound and quasi-bound states, a contact model is introduced. The modeling…
Resonant P-wave interactions can be described by a minimal zero-range model defined by a truncated effective range expansion, so that the only 2-body interaction parameters are the inverse scattering volume 1/a_P and the P-wave effective…
We study a dilute Bose gas of atoms whose scattering length a is large compared to the range of their interaction. We calculate the energy density of the homogeneous Bose-Einstein condensate to second order in the low-density expansion,…
Background: The Efimov effect is a universal phenomenon in physics whereby three-body systems are stabilized via the interaction of an unbound two-body sub-systems. A hypothetical state in $^{12}\mathrm{C}$ at 7.458 MeV excitation energy,…
We analyze how corrections linear in the effective range, r_0, affect quantities in the three-body sector within an effective field theory for short-range interactions. We demonstrate that observables can be obtained straightforwardly using…
