Title Heteronuclear Efimov Scenario in Ultracold Quantum Gases : Universality in Systems with Large Mass Imbalance Author(s) Ulmanis, Juris Publication Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2017. Description XVIII, 125 p. 45 illus., 44 illus. in color : online resource Abstract Note This thesis represents a decisive breakthrough in our understanding of the physics of universal quantum-mechanical three-body systems. The Efimov scenario is a prime example of how fundamental few-body physics features universally across seemingly disparate fields of modern quantum physics. Initially postulated for nuclear physics more than 40 years ago, the Efimov effect has now become a new research paradigm not only in ultracold atomic gases but also in molecular, biological and condensed matter systems. Despite a lot of effort since its first observations, the scaling behavior, which is a hallmark property and often referred to as the ???holy grail??? of Efimov physics, remained hidden until recently. In this work, the author demonstrates this behavior for the first time for a heteronuclear mixture of ultracold Li and Cs atoms, and pioneers the experimental understanding of microscopic, non-universal properties in such systems. Based on the application of Born-Oppenheimer approximation, well known from molecular physics textbooks, an exceptionally clear and intuitive picture of heteronuclear Efimov physics is revealed ISBN,Price 9783319518626 Keyword(s) 1.
