Two- or three-dimensional metals are usually well described by weakly interacting, fermionic quasiparticles. This concept breaks down in one dimension due to strong Coulomb interactions. There, low-energy electronic excitations are expected…
We consider a single quantum particle in a spherical box interacting with a fixed scatterer at the center, to construct a model of a degenerate atomic Fermi gas close to a Feshbach resonance. One of the key predictions of the model is the…
We derive the Hamiltonian for cold fermionic atoms in an optical lattice across a broad Feshbach resonance, taking into account of both multiband occupations and neighboring-site collisions. Under typical configurations, the resulting…
We study the electronic transport in quasiperiodic separable tight-binding models in one, two, and three dimensions. First, we investigate a one-dimensional quasiperiodic chain, in which the atoms are coupled by weak and strong bonds…

We report the observation of a dimer-dimer inelastic collision resonance for ultracold Feshbach molecules made of bosonic sodium and rubidium atoms. This resonance, which we attribute to the crossing of the dimer-dimer threshold with a…
We demonstrate optical tuning of the scattering length in a Bose-Einstein condensate as predicted by Fedichev {\em et al.} [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 77}, 2913 (1996)]. In our experiment atoms in a $^{87}$Rb condensate are exposed to laser…
Cold quantum gases, when acted upon by electromagnetic fields, can give rise to samples where isolated atoms coexist with dimers or trimers, which raises the question of the interactions between these various constituents. Here we perform…
We consider a quantum model of two-channel scattering to describe the mechanism of a Feshbach resonance. We perform a rigorous analysis in order to count and localize the energy resonances in the perturbative regime, i.e., for small…
Three magnetic-field induced heteronuclear Feshbach resonances were identified in collisions between bosonic 87Rb and fermionic 40K atoms in their absolute ground states. Strong inelastic loss from an optically trapped mixture was observed…
We study inelastic two-body relaxation in a spin-polarized ultracold Fermi gas in the presence of a p-wave Feshbach resonance. It is shown that in reduced dimensionalities, especially in the quasi-one-dimensional case, the enhancement of…
We experimentally investigate the mix-dimensional scattering occurring when the collisional partners live in different dimensions. We employ a binary mixture of ultracold atoms and exploit a species-selective 1D optical lattice to confine…
We studied the scattering problem of two distinguishable atoms with unequal mass, where one atom (atom $\alpha$) is trapped in a quasi-one-dimensional (quasi-1D) tube and the other one (atom $\beta$) is localized by a 3D harmonic trap. We…
We create molecules from fermionic atoms in a three-dimensional optical lattice using a Feshbach resonance. In the limit of low tunnelling, the individual wells can be regarded as independent three-dimensional harmonic oscillators. The…
Ultracold molecules are associated from an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate by ramping a magnetic field across a Feshbach resonance. The reverse ramp dissociates the molecules. The kinetic energy released in the dissociation process is used…
