Universality in Ultra-Cold Few- and Many-Boson Systems

Abstract

This dissertation presents theoretical investigations of universality and finite-range corrections in few- and many-boson systems. The main focus is on ultra-cold atomic gases seen both from the three-body, many-body, and mean-field perspective. Topics include corrections to Efimov physics, the N-body Efimov effect, two-body correlations in condensates and higher-order interactions in mean-field BECs.
