We revisit the problem of three identical bosons in free space, which exhibits a universal hierarchy of bound states (Efimov trimers). Modelling a narrow Feshbach resonance within a two-channel description, we map the integral equation for…
Shallow heteronuclear trimers are predicted for mixtures of two atomic species strongly trapped in a quasi two-dimensional atomic wave guide. The binding energies are functions of the 2D-scattering length and of the mass ratio and can be…
Low dimensional behavior of two ultra-cold atoms trapped in two-and one-dimensional waveguides is investigated in the vicinity of a magnetic Feshbach resonance. A quantitative two-channel model for the Feshbach mechanism is used allowing an…
A problem of collisions of atoms with two-channel zero-range interaction in an atomic waveguide is solved by using of a renormalization procedure. A matching of the solution to a solution of the related one-dimensional problem leads to…

We study the three-body problem for three atomic fermions, in the same spin state, experiencing a resonant interaction in the p-wave channel via a Feshbach resonance represented by a two-channel model. The rate of inelastic processes due to…
The signature of an unatomic system is revealed by a continuous scale invariance that appears during a progressive dimensional squeezing of a resonantly interacting trimer. The unatomic regime is reached at the dimension $\overline D$,…
Bound states and collisions of atoms with two-channel two-body interactions in harmonic waveguides are analyzed. The closed-channel contributions to two-atom bound states become dominant in the case of a weak resonance. At low energies and…
We develop and analyze a theoretical model to study p-wave Feshbach resonances of identical fermions in atomic waveguides by extending the two-channel model of A.D. Lange et. al. [Phys. Rev. A 79, 013622 (2009)] and S. Saeidian et. al.…

We develop a grid method for multi-channel scattering of atoms in a waveguide with harmonic confinement. This approach is employed to extensively analyze the transverse excitations and deexcitations as well as resonant scattering processes.…
We model two bosons in an optical lattice near a Feshbach or photoassociation resonance, focusing on the Bose-Hubbard model in one dimension. Whereas the usual atoms-only theory with a tunable scattering length yields one bound state for a…
Recent experiments with Bose-Einstein condensates of 85Rb atoms near a Feshbach resonance have produced evidence for a condensate of diatomic molecules coexisting with the atom condensate. It should also be possible to create condensates of…

A distinguishing feature of ultracold collisions of bosonic lithium atoms is the presence of two near-degenerate two-body continua. The influence of such a near-degeneracy on the few-body physics in the vicinity of a narrow Feshbach…
Under certain circumstances, three or more interacting particles may form bound states. While the general few-body problem is not analytically solvable, the so-called Efimov trimers appear for a system of three particles with resonant…
