We have investigated magnetically tunable Feshbach resonances in ultracold collisions of Rb with Yb in its metastable $^3$P$_2$ and $^3$P$_0$ states, using coupled-channel scattering and bound-state calculations. For the $^3$P$_2$ state, we…

We determine the physical properties of \emph{p}-wave Feshbach molecules in doubly spin-polarized $^{40}$K and find excellent agreement with recent experiments. We show that these molecules have a large probability $Z$ to be in the closed…

We present an analysis of experimentally accessible magnetic Feshbach resonances in ultra-cold hetero-nuclear 85Rb-87Rb and 6Li-87Rb mixtures. Using recent experimental measurements of the triplet scattering lengths for 6Li-87Rb and…
We analyze molecular bound states of atomic quantum gases near a Feshbach resonance. A simple, renormalizable field theoretic model is shown to have exact solutions in the two-body sector, whose binding energy agrees well with observed…
Photoassociation and the Feshbach resonance are, in principle, feasible means for creating a molecular Bose-Einstein condensate from an already-quantum-degenerate gas of atoms; however, mean-field shifts and irreversible decay place…
We study an atomic Bose gas with an s-wave Feshbach resonance in a one-dimensional optical lattice, with the densities of atoms and molecules incommensurate with the lattice. At zero temperature, most of the parameter region is occupied by…
In a recent Letter (Phys. Rev. lett. 105, 195301 (2010)), Song et al. introduced a new variational approach to treat strong attractive boson-fermion (BF) correlations in BF atomic mixtures. The proposed theory predicts a first order phase…
