14 Interactions Generic Discussion V(R) 2-body potential R Λ db ~ 1 μm detailed shape of V(R) unimportant ~1 nm Characterize interaction by s-wave scattering length a: mean-field interaction energy nu o = 4πh 2 na/m a < 0 attractive a > 0 repulsive
15 Bosons Implications of Interactions stability of condensate bright or dark solitons healing length: vortices, speed of sound excitation spectrum Mott insulator: on-site interactions U miscibility or immiscibility of spinor condensates Fermions Cooper pairing (BCS) or molecules (BEC) Hubbard model: U/J
16 What Determines a? 7 Li 6 Li Zero-energy resonance a = -27 a o a = -2300? a o Answer: The last bound state!
