Van der Waals universality near a quantum tricritical point

Abstract

We study the three-body scattering hypervolume $D$ of atoms whose scattering length $a$ is on the order of or smaller than the typical range $r_{\mathrm{vdW}}$ of the van der Waals attraction. We find that the real part of $D$ behaves universally in this weakly interacting regime ($|a|/r_{\mathrm{vdW}}\lesssim 1$) in the absence of trimer resonances. This universality originates from hard-spherelike collisions that dominate elastic three-body scattering. We use this result to make quantitative predictions for the thermodynamics and elementary excitations of an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate in the vicinity of a quantum tricritical point, including quantum droplets stabilized by effective three-body interactions.
