Two atoms in an anisotropic harmonic trap

arXiv:quant-ph/0410163 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.71.050701

Abstract

We consider the system of two interacting atoms confined in axially symmetric harmonic trap. Within the pseudopotential approximation, we solve the Schroedinger equation exactly, discussing the limits of quasi-one and quasi-two-dimensional geometries. Finally, we discuss the application of an energy-dependent pseudopotential, which allows to extend the validity of our results to the case of tight traps and large scattering lengths.
