Program:

Theoretical methods to describe the formation and dissociation of molecules in dilute quantum gases

Topics to be covered:

• Coupled Bose-Einstein condensates of atoms and molecules
• Breakdown of the mean-field theory at the Gross- Pitaevskii level
• Theory of Feshbach resonances for two particles
• Microscopic parameters: the scattering length, the effective range, and the binding energy of the highest lying bound state
• Application to real atomic systems: Rubidium-85 and Potassium-40
• Simple microscopic models for describing resonance scattering; scattering from delta-function potentials
• Example application to dilute Fermi systems; Resonance Superfluidity
• Example application to dilute Boson systems; Ramsey-fringes and Bosenova.
