We demonstrate that scattering of particles strongly interacting in three dimensions (3D) can be suppressed at low energies in a quasi-one-dimensional (1D) confinement. The underlying mechanism is the interference of the s- and p-wave…
We show that a purely s-wave interaction in three dimensions (3D) can induce higher partial-wave resonances in mixed dimensions. We develop two-body scattering theories in all three cases of 0D-3D, 1D-3D, and 2D-3D mixtures and determine…
We report on the observation of confinement-induced resonances in strongly interacting quantum-gas systems with tunable interactions for one- and two-dimensional geometry. Atom-atom scattering is substantially modified when the s-wave…
We investigate the three-body recombination rate of a Fermi gas of $^6$Li atoms confined in quasi-1D near a $p$-wave Feshbach resonance. We confirm that the quasi-1D loss rate constant $K_3$ follows the predicted threshold scaling law that…
We point out that theories describing s-wave collisions of bosonic atoms confined in one- or two-dimensional geometries can be extended to much tighter confinements than previously thought. This is achieved by replacing the scattering…
We observe and analyze d-wave resonant scattering of bosons in tightly confining harmonic waveguides. It is shown that the d-wave resonance emerges in the quasi-1D regime as an imprint of a 3D d-wave shape resonance. A scaling relation for…
We investigate confinement-induced resonances in a system composed by a tightly trapped ion and a moving atom in a waveguide. We determine the conditions for the appearance of such resonances in a broad region -- from the "long-wavelength"…
We theoretically investigate the confinement-induced resonance for quasi-one-dimensional quan- tum systems under transversely anisotropic confinement, using a two-body s-wave scattering model in the zero-energy collision limit. We predict a…
Low energy scattering amplitudes for two atoms in one- and two-dimensional atomic wave guides are derived for short range isotropic and resonant interactions in high partial wave channels. Taking into account the finite width of the…
Using the asymptotic Bethe Ansatz, we study the stabilization problem of the one-dimensional spin-polarized Fermi gas confined in a hard-wall potential with tunable p-wave scattering length and finite effective range. We find that the…
The energy spectrum and corresponding wave functions of two bosonic particles confined in a spherically symmetric shell trap and interacting via a three-dimensional zero-range potential are computed. Confinement-induced resonances,…
We investigate ultracold and dilute bosonic atoms under strong transverse harmonic confinement by using a 1D modified Gross-Pitaevskii equation (1D MGPE), which accounts for the energy dependence of the two-body scattering amplitude within…
We consider two-dimensional weakly-bound heterospecies molecules formed in a Fermi-Bose mixture with attractive Fermi-Bose and repulsive Bose-Bose interactions. Bosonic exchanges lead to an intermolecular attraction, which can be controlled…
We study theoretically the interaction between two species of ultracold atoms confined into two layers of a finite separation, and demonstrate the existence of new types of confinement-induced interlayer bound and quasi-bound molecules:…
We generated a one-dimensional quantum gas confined in an elongated optical dipole trap instead of 2D optical lattices. The sample, comprising thousands of atoms, spans several hundred micrometers and allows for independent control of…
In quasi-one- or quasi-two-dimensional traps with strong transverse confinements, quantum gases behave like strictly one- or two-dimensional systems at large length scales. However, at short distance, the two-body scattering intrinsically…
We have produced and detected molecules using a p-wave Feshbach resonance between 40K atoms. We have measured the binding energy and lifetime for these molecules and we find that the binding energy scales approximately linearly with…
