Strongly interacting systems appear in several areas of physics and are characterized by attractive interactions that can almost, or just barely, loosely bind two particles. Although this definition is made at the two-body level, this gives…
We renormalize the two-body contact interaction based on the exact solution of two interacting particles in a harmonic trap. This renormalization extends the validity of the contact interaction to large scattering lengths. We apply this…
We study the many-body dynamics of weakly interacting Bose gases with two-particle losses. We show that both the two-body interactions and losses in atomic gases may be tuned by controlling the inelastic scattering process between atoms by…
The effective field theory with contact interactions alone is a powerful tool to compute low-energy observables for three-body systems with large scattering length. Recent calculations including effective range corrections are discussed and…
Effective field theories (EFTs) are widely used to study many-body systems by describing two-body interactions using zero-ranged contact potentials. However, when extended to three-body processes, these contact interactions lead to…
We present a new two-body finite-range and momentum-dependent but density-independent effective interaction, which can be interpreted as a regularized zero-range force. We show that no three-body or density-dependent terms are needed for a…
The configuration interaction (CI) method for calculating the exact eigenstates of a quantum-mechanical few-body system is problematic when applied to particles interacting through contact forces. In dimensions higher than one the approach…
Strongly-interacting systems consisting of particles that interact through a large scattering length satisfy universal relations that relate many of their central properties to the contact, which measures the number of pairs with small…
We consider the ground state of a harmonically trapped Bose-Einstein condensate within the Gross-Pitaevskii theory including the effective-range corrections for a two-body zero-range potential. The resulting non-linear Schr\"odinger…
We study the exact solution of the two-body problem on a tight-binding one-dimensional lattice, with pairwise interaction potentials which have an arbitrary but finite range. We show how to obtain the full spectrum, the bound and scattering…
We study the three-body system with short-range interactions characterized by an unnaturally large two-body scattering length. We show that the off-shell scattering amplitude is cutoff independent up to power corrections. This allows us to…
In view of recent experiments on ultra-cold polarized fermions, the zero-range potential approach is generalized to situations where two-body scattering is resonant in the p-wave channel. We introduce a modified scalar product which reveals…
We address the issue of determining an effective two-body interaction for mean-field calculations of energies of many-body systems. We show that the effective interaction is proportional to the phase shift, and demonstrate this result in…
Quantum systems composed of $N$ distinct particles in $\R^2$ with two-body contact interactions of TMS type are shown to arise as limits - in the norm resolvent sense - of Schr\"odinger operators with suitably rescaled pair potentials.
We study quantum transport of an interacting Bose-Einstein condensate in a two-dimensional disorder potential. In the limit of vanishing atom-atom interaction, a sharp cone in the angle-resolved density of the scattered matter wave is…
We describe \emph{zero range} (contact) interactions, weak and strong. Strong contact leads to the Efimov effect in Low Energy Nuclear Physics, weak contact leads to Bose-Einstein condensation and to the presence of Cooper pairs in…
We investigate the effect of electron-electron interactions on the conductance of quasi one-dimensional systems without potential scattering. For a finite temperature or system length, the short-range interaction is not renormalized to 0,…
It is shown that the effective interaction strength of three bosons at small collision energies can be extracted from their wave function at zero energy. An asymptotic expansion of this wave function at large interparticle distances is…
