Book cover Heteronuclear Efimov Scenario in Ultracold Quantum Gases

Part of the book series: Springer Theses ((Springer Theses))

  • 382 Accesses

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).
