Scattering hypervolume for ultracold bosons from weak to strong interactions

Atomic Physics 2019-11-25 v2 Quantum Gases

Abstract

The elastic scattering properties of three bosons at low energy enter the many-body description of ultracold Bose gases via the three-body scattering hypervolume DD. We study this quantity for identical bosons that interact via a pairwise finite-range potential. Our calculations cover the regime from strongly repulsive potentials towards attractive potentials supporting multiple two-body bound states and are consistent with the few existing predictions for DD. We present the first numerical confirmation of the universal predictions for DD in the strongly interacting regime, where Efimov physics dominates, for a local nonzero-range potential. Our findings highlight how DD is influenced by three-body quasibound states with strong dd-wave or gg-wave characteristics in the weakly interacting regime.
