Exact relations for quantum-mechanical few-body and many-body problems with short-range interactions in two and three dimensions
We derive relations between various observables for N particles with
zero-range or short-range interactions, in continuous space or on a lattice, in
two or three dimensions, in an arbitrary external potential. Some of our
results generalise known relations between large-momentum behavior of the
momentum distribution, short-distance behavior of the pair correlation function
and of the one-body density matrix, derivative of the energy with respect to
the scattering length or to time, and the norm of the regular part of the
wavefunction; in the case of finite-range interactions, the interaction energy
is also related to dE/da. The expression relating the energy to a functional of
the momentum distribution is also generalised, and is found to break down for
Efimov states with zero-range interactions, due to a subleading oscillating
tail in the momentum distribution. We also obtain new expressions for the
derivative of the energy of a universal state with respect to the effective
range, the derivative of the energy of an efimovian state with respect to the
three-body parameter, and the second order derivative of the energy with
respect to the inverse (or the logarithm in the two-dimensional case) of the
scattering length. The latter is negative at fixed entropy. We use exact
relations to compute corrections to exactly solvable three-body problems and
find agreement with available numerics. For the unitary gas, we compare exact
relations to existing fixed-node Monte-Carlo data, and we test, with existing
Quantum Monte Carlo results on different finite range models, our prediction
that the leading deviation of the critical temperature from its zero range
value is linear in the interaction effective range r_e with a model independent
numerical coefficient.Comment: 51 pages, 5 figures. Split into three articles: Phys. Rev. A 83,

Three-boson problem near a narrow Feshbach resonance
We consider a three-boson system with resonant binary interactions and show
that three-body observables depend only on the resonance width and the
scattering length. The effect of narrow resonances is qualitatively different
from that of wide resonances revealing novel physics of three-body collisions.
We calculate the rate of three-body recombination to a weakly bound level and
the atom-dimer scattering length and discuss implications for experiments on
Bose-Einstein condensates and atom-molecule mixtures near Feshbach resonances.Comment: published versio
Circular photon drag effect in bulk tellurium
The circular photon drag effect is observed in a bulk semiconductor. The
photocurrent caused by a transfer of both translational and angular momenta of
light to charge carriers is detected in tellurium in the mid-infrared frequency
range. Dependencies of the photocurrent on the light polarization and on the
incidence angle agree with the symmetry analysis of the circular photon drag
effect. Microscopic models of the effect are developed for both intra- and
inter-subband optical absorption in the valence band of tellurium. The shift
contribution to the circular photon drag current is calculated. An observed
decrease of the circular photon drag current with increase of the photon energy
is explained by the theory for inter-subband optical transitions. Theoretical
estimates of the circular photon drag current agree with the experimental data.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figure
Can an electric current orient spins in quantum wells?
A longstanding theoretical prediction is the orientation of spins by an
electrical current flowing through low-dimensional carrier systems of
sufficiently low crystallographic symmetry. Here we show by means of terahertz
transmission experiments through two-dimensional hole systems a growing spin
orientation with an increasing current at room temperature.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figure

Global in Time Solutions to Kolmogorov-Feller Pseudodifferential Equations with Small Parameter
The goal in this paper is to demonstrate a new method for constructing
global-in-time approximate (asymptotic) solutions of (pseudodifferential)
parabolic equations with a small parameter. We show that, in the leading term,
such a solution can be constructed by using characteristics, more precisely, by
using solutions of the corresponding Hamiltonian system and without using any
integral representation. For completeness, we also briefly describe the
well-known scheme developed by V.P.Maslov for constructing global-in-time
solutions.Comment: 27 page
