We developed a generalized pseudopotential for quantum scattering, improving upon the Fermi pseudopotential by including higher-order multipole moments. This allows for more accurate calculations of energy levels for interacting particles in traps.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Atomic physics
  • Mathematical physics

Background:

  • The Fermi pseudopotential, using a delta function, accurately models s-wave scattering but omits higher-order multipole moments.
  • A need exists for more sophisticated zero-range potentials to capture complex interactions in quantum systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To derive a generalized zero-range pseudopotential applicable to all partial waves.
  • To model higher-order multipole moments beyond the monopolar approximation.
  • To obtain self-consistent solutions for realistic potentials and analyze interacting particle systems.

Main Methods:

  • Derivation of a generalized zero-range pseudopotential from a delta-shell potential in the zero-radius limit.
  • Incorporation of energy-dependent potential strength for self-consistent solutions.

  • Application to a two-particle system in an isotropic harmonic trap with a central interaction.

    • Main Results:

    • The generalized pseudopotential accurately accounts for multipole moments beyond s-wave scattering.
    • Analytic expressions for energy eigenstates and eigenvalues were derived for the two-particle system.
    • Self-consistent solutions across the energy spectrum were obtained.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed pseudopotential offers a more comprehensive description of quantum interactions compared to the Fermi pseudopotential.
    • This method provides accurate analytical solutions for specific quantum systems, enhancing theoretical modeling capabilities.
