Quasi-1D scattering with general transverse 2D confinement

Abstract

Confinement induced resonances (CIR) in quasi-1D systems have been theoretically predicted and observed in various ultracold atomic gases. Here a regularized local frame transformation method is developed to treat CIR in a quasi-1D system that has an arbitrary transverse trap shape in general. The method is applied to predict the CIR position in a system whose transverse geometry is a square well.
