Part of the Springer Theses book series (Springer Theses)

Abstract

This chapter provides a concise introduction to Efimov physics that is easily accessible to a nonspecialist. We discuss three-body physics in ultracold quantum gases and place these ideas in a wide context touching nuclear, atomic, and molecular physics. The last part deals with similarities and differences between three-body systems that consist of identical particles (homonuclear) or particles with different masses (heteronuclear).

Keywords

  • Feshbach Resonance
  • Dissociation Threshold
  • Trimer State
  • Ground State Resonance
  • Efimov Effect

These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
