Analytic description of atomic interaction at ultracold temperatures II: Scattering around a magnetic Feshbach resonance
Starting from a multichannel quantum-defect theory, we derive analytic
descriptions of a magnetic Feshbach resonance in an arbitrary partial wave ,
and the atomic interactions around it. An analytic formula, applicable to both
broad and narrow resonances of arbitrary , is presented for ultracold atomic
scattering around a Feshbach resonance. Other related issues addressed include
(a) the parametrization of a magnetic Feshbach resonance of arbitrary , (b)
rigorous definitions of "broad" and "narrow" resonances of arbitrary and
their different scattering characteristics, and (c) the tuning of the effective
range and the generalized effective range by a magnetic field.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figure
Multichannel quantum-defect theory for slow atomic collisions
We present a multichannel quantum-defect theory for slow atomic collisions
that takes advantages of the analytic solutions for the long-range potential,
and both the energy and the angular-momentum insensitivities of the short-range
parameters. The theory provides an accurate and complete account of scattering
processes, including shape and Feshbach resonances, in terms of a few
parameters such as the singlet and the triplet scattering lengths. As an
example, results for Na-Na scattering are presented and compared
close-coupling calculations.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figure
Photoinduced Electron Pairing in a Driven Cavity
We demonstrate how virtual scattering of laser photons inside a cavity via two-photon processes can induce controllable long-range electron interactions in two-dimensional materials. We show that laser light that is red (blue) detuned from the cavity yields attractive (repulsive) interactions whose strength is proportional to the laser intensity. Furthermore, we find that the interactions are not screened effectively except at very low frequencies. For realistic cavity parameters, laser-induced heating of the electrons by inelastic photon scattering is suppressed and coherent electron interactions dominate. When the interactions are attractive, they cause an instability in the Cooper channel at a temperature proportional to the square root of the driving intensity. Our results provide a novel route for engineering electron interactions in a wide range of two-dimensional materials including AB-stacked bilayer graphene and the conducting interface between LaAlO3 and SrTiO3
Hadronization Approach for a Quark-Gluon Plasma Formed in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions
A transport model is developed to describe hadron emission from a strongly
coupled quark-gluon plasma formed in relativistic heavy ion collisions. The
quark-gluon plasma is controlled by ideal hydrodynamics, and the hadron motion
is characterized by a transport equation with loss and gain terms. The two sets
of equations are coupled to each other, and the hadronization hypersurface is
determined by both the hydrodynamic evolution and the hadron emission. The
model is applied to calculate the transverse momentum distributions of mesons
and baryons, and most of the results agree well with the experimental data at
RHIC.Comment: 16 pages, 24 figures. Version accepted by PR
Probabilistic teleportation of unknown two-particle state via POVM
We propose a scheme for probabilistic teleportation of unknown two-particle
state with partly entangled four-particle state via POVM. In this scheme the
teleportation of unknown two-particle state can be realized with certain
probability by performing two Bell state measurements, a proper POVM and a
unitary transformation.Comment: 5 pages, no figur
