Confinement-induced resonance in quasi-one-dimensional systems under transversely anisotropic confinement

Abstract

We theoretically investigate the confinement-induced resonance for quasi-one-dimensional quan- tum systems under transversely anisotropic confinement, using a two-body s-wave scattering model in the zero-energy collision limit. We predict a single resonance for any transverse anisotropy, whose position shows a slight downshift with increasing anisotropy. We compare our prediction with the recent experimental result by Haller et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 153203 (2010)], in which two resonances are observed in the presence of transverse anisotropy. The discrepancy between theory and experiment remains to be resolved.
