Description

MATEMATICAL MODELING OF RESONANT PROCESSES IN CONFINED GEOMETRY OF ATOMIC AND ATOM-ION TRAPS V.S. Melezhik Bogoliubov Laboratory of Theoretical Physics, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna Moscow Region 141980, Russian Federation E-mail: melezhik@theor.jinr.ru Mathematical modelling of resonant processes in confined geometry of optical and electromagnetic traps is an actual problem of physics of cold atoms and ions. The conventional theory for free-space resonant scattering is not valid for confined scattering and new approaches, including effects of the confinement, are needed. In our works we have developed a computational methods [1-4] for resonant collisions in tight atomic waveguides and have found several novel effects in its application: the confinement-induced resonances (CIRs) in multimode regimes including effects of transverse excitations and deexcitations [2], the so-called dual CIR yielding a complete suppression of quantum scattering [1], and resonant molecule formation with a transferred energy to center-of-mass excitation while forming molecules [5]. The last effect was recently confirmed in the Heidelberg experiment [6]. Our calculations have also been used for planning and interpretation of the Innsbruck experiment on investigation of CIRs in ultracold Cs gas [7]. Our talk is devoted to computational aspects of the developed theoretical models, based on the nondirect product DVR [4,8,9], for the time-dependent and stationary Schrödinger equations with a few spatial variables..We also plan to discuss resent results obtained with the developed approaches for the confined dipole-dipole [10] and atom-ion scattering [11]. Particularly, we investigate very complicate problem of influence of the ion micromotion in Paul traps [12] on the resonances. 1. V.S.Melezhik, J.I.Kim, and P.Schmelcher, Phys. Rev.
