Title: Dynamical Mean-Field Analysis of the Multispecies Bose-Hubbard Model
Authors: A. Hubener, M. Snoek, W. Hofstetter
Categories: cond-mat.other
\\
We investigate the Bose-Hubbard model by means of Bosonic Dynamical
Mean-Field Theory (BDMFT). For spinless bosons this yields a phase diagram
where the Mott-lobes are enhanced compared to the mean-field result. Applying
BDMFT to two-component bosonic mixtures such as 87Rb - 41K we find a rich phase
diagram where besides the Z-antiferromagnet, XY-ferromagnet and XY-superfluid
also a supersolid phase is present.

Title: Persistent current of Luttinger liquid in one-dimensional ring with weak

Carlo

We study the persistent current of correlated spinless electrons in a
continuous one-dimensional ring with a single weak link. We include
correlations by solving the many-body Schrodinger equation for several tens of
electrons interacting via the short-ranged pair interaction V(x - x'). We solve
this many-body problem by advanced configuration-interaction (CI) and diffusion
Monte Carlo (DMC) methods. Our CI and DMC results show, that the persistent
current (I) as a function of the ring length (L) exhibits for large L the power
law typical of the Luttinger liquid, $I \propto L^{-1-\alpha}$, where the power
$\alpha$ depends only on the electron-electron (e-e) interaction. For strong
e-e interaction the previous theories predicted for $\alpha$ the formula
$\alpha = {(1 + 2 \alpha_{RG})}^{1/2} - 1$, where $\alpha_{RG} = [V(0)-V(2k_F)]/2\pi \hbar v_F$ is the renormalisation-group result for weakly
interacting electrons, with V(q) being the Fourier transform of V(x-x'). Our
numerical data show that this theoretical result holds in the continuous model
only if the range of V(x - x') is small (roughly $d \lesssim 1/2k_F$, more
precisely $4d^2k_F^2 << 1$). For strong e-e interaction ($\alpha_{RG} > 0.25$)
our CI data show the power law $I \propto L^{-1-\alpha}$ already for rings with
only ten electrons, i.e., ten electrons are already enough to behave like the
Luttinger liquid. The DMC data for $\alpha_{RG} > 0.25$ are damaged by the
so-called fixed-phase approximation. Finally, we also treat the e-e interaction
in the Hartree-Fock approximation. We find the exponentially decaying I(L)
instead of the power law, however, the slope of log(I(L)) still depends solely
on the parameter $\alpha_{RG}$ as long as the range of V(x - x') approaches
zero.

Title: Angular FFLO State in Cold Fermion Gases in Toroidal Trap
Authors: Youichi Yanase
Categories: cond-mat.other cond-mat.supr-con
\\
We study the possibility of angular Fulde-Ferrel-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO)
state, in which the rotation symmetry is spontaneously broken, in population
imbalanced fermion gases near the BCS-BEC crossover. We investigate the
superfluid at low temperatures on the basis of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes
equation, and examine the stability against thermal fluctuations using the
T-matrix approach beyond LDA. We find that the angular FFLO state is stabilized
in the gases confined in the toroidal trap, but not in the harmonic trap. The
angular FFLO state is stable near the BCS-BEC crossover owing to the pseudogap.
Spatial dependences of number density and local population imbalance are shown
for an experimental test.

Title: Static and dynamical properties of a two-dimensional Wigner crystal of
rotating dipolar Fermi gases
Authors: Szu-Cheng Cheng
Categories: cond-mat.other
\\
Using an ansatz wave function for the ground state of rotating
two-dimensional dipolar fermions, which occupy only partially the lowest Landau
level, we study the correlation energy and elastic properties of the Wigner
crystal of rotating dipolar Fermi gases. From a simple Hartree-Fock approach,
we show that the correlation energy of a particle crystal is lower and higher
than the correlation energy of a hole crystal for filling factors v<1/2 and
v>1/2, respectively. Furthermore we find that the shear moduli of these dipolar
crystals have a nonmonotonic behavior as a function of the filling factor. We
also examine the stability of a Wigner crystal. The Wigner crystal with the
sample width being zero is locally stable for 0< v <1/2, while the
corresponding hole crystal is locally stable for 1/2< v <1. Due to the WC being
unstable around v=1/2, we also conclude that a new liquid state, not a quantum
Hall state, can exist at v=1/2.

Title: Bose-Einstein Condensation of Dark Matter Axions

\\
We show that cold dark matter axions thermalize and form a Bose-Einstein
condensate. We obtain the axion state in a homogeneous and isotropic universe,
and derive the equations governing small axion perturbations. Because they form
a BEC, axions differ from ordinary cold dark matter. A repulsive force
suppresses the formation of caustics and hence of small scale structure.
Bose-Einstein condensation of dark matter axions provides a mechanism for the
production of net overall rotation in dark matter halos, and for the alignment
of cosmic microwave anisotropy multipoles.

We study the entanglement of a pair of qubits resulting from their
interaction with a bosonic system. Here we restrict our discussion to the case
where the set of operators acting on different qubits commute. A special class
of interactions inducing entanglement in an initially separable two qubit
system is discussed. Our results apply to the case where the initial state of
the bosonic system is represented by a statistical mixture of states with fixed

Title: Monitoring the wave function by time continuous position measurement

\\
We consider a single copy of a quantum particle moving in a potential and
show that it is possible to monitor its complete wave function by only
continuously measuring its position. While we assume that the potential is
known, no information is available about its state initially. In order to
monitor the wave function, an estimate of the wave function is propagated due
to the influence of the potential and continuously updated according to the
results of the position measurement. We demonstrate by numerical simulations
that the estimation reaches arbitrary values of accuracy below 100 percent
within a finite time period for the potentials we study. In this way our method
grants, a certain time after the beginning of the measurement, an accurate
real-time record of the state evolution including the influence of the
continuous measurement. Moreover, it is robust against sudden perturbations of
the system as for example random momentum kicks from environmental particles,
provided they occur not too frequently.

\\
Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) has been often proposed for
generating nonlinear optical effects at the single photon level; in particular,
as a means to effect a quantum non-demolition measurement of a single photon
field. Previous treatments have usually considered homogeneously broadened
samples, but realisations in any medium will have to contend with inhomogeneous
broadening. Here we reappraise an earlier scheme [Munro \textit{et al.} Phys.
Rev. A \textbf{71}, 033819 (2005)] with respect to inhomogeneities and show an
alternative mode of operation that is preferred in an inhomogeneous
environment. We further show the implications of these results on a potential
implementation in diamond containing nitrogen-vacancy colour centres. Our
modelling shows that single mode waveguide structures of length $200 \mu\mathrm{m}$ in single-crystal diamond containing a dilute ensemble of NV$^-$
of only 200 centres are sufficient for quantum non-demolition measurements
using EIT-based weak nonlinear interactions.

Close
Categories: physics.atom-ph
\\
We describe a setup used to create ultracold Rb-85 clouds by sympathetic
cooling with a Rb-87 reservoir. The machine produces pure Rb-87 condensates of
10^6 atoms in a tightly-confining quadrupole-Ioffe (QUIC) magnetic trap. By
combining Rb-85 and Rb-87 atoms collected in a dual-species magneto-optical
trap and selectively evaporating the heavier isotope, we demonstrate strong
sympathetic cooling of the Rb-85 cloud, increasing its phase space density by
three orders of magnitude with no detectable loss in number. We have used
ultracold samples created in this way to observe the variation of inelastic
losses in Rb-85 as a function of magnetic field near the 155 G Feshbach
resonance, including a previously unobserved feature associated with a
predicted Feshbach resonance near 215 G. With further evaporation in an optical
dipole trap, temperatures below 100 nK and phase space densities of 0.2 have
been achieved.

Title: Energy Transport in a One-Dimensional Granular Gas
Authors: Italo Ivo Lima Dias Pinto, Alexandre Rosas, Katja Lindenberg
Categories: cond-mat.stat-mech cond-mat.soft
\\
We study heat conduction in one-dimensional granular gases. In particular, we
consider two mechanisms of viscous dissipation during inter-grain collisions.
In one, the dissipative force is proportional to the grain's velocity and
dissipates not only energy but also momentum. In the other, the dissipative
force is proportional to the relative velocity of the grains and therefore
conserves momentum even while dissipating energy. This allows us to explore the
role of momentum conservation in the heat conduction properties of this
one-dimensional nonlinear system. We find normal thermal conduction whether or
not momentum is conserved.

Title: Emergence of Topological Fermi Liquid from a Strongly Correlated Bosonic
System in Optical Superlattices
Authors: Bo-lun Chen and Su-peng Kou
Categories: cond-mat.other cond-mat.str-el
\\
Recent experiments on quantum degenerate gases give an opportunity for
simulating strongly-correlated electronic systems in optical lattices. It may
shed light on some long-standing puzzles in condensed-matter physics, like the
nature of high-temperature superconductivity in cuprates that had baffled
people over two decades. It is believed that the two-dimensional fermionic
Hubbard model, or t-J model, contains the key to this problem; but the
difficulty of unveiling the mystery of a strongly-interacting fermionic system
is also generally acknowledged. Here, as a substitute, we systematically
analyze the property of bosonic t-J model simulated in optical superlattices
near unit-filling. In particular, we show the emergence of a strange
topological Fermi liquid with Fermi surfaces from a purely bosonic system. We
also discuss the possibility of observing these phenomena in ultracold atom
experiments. The result may provide some crucial insights into the origin of
high-T_{c} superconductivity.

Title: External force affected escape of Brownian particles from a potential
well
Authors: A. I. Shushin
Categories: cond-mat.soft cond-mat.stat-mech
\\
The effect of an external force on the kinetics of diffusion-assisted
escaping of Brownian particles from a potential well is analyzed in detail. The
analysis is made within the two-state model of the process which is known to be
valid in the deep well limit in the absence of external force. The generalized
variant of this model, taking into account the effect of the force, is shown to
be quite accurate as well for some shapes of the well. Within the generalized
two-state model simple expressions for the well depopulation kinetics and, in
particular, the for the escape rate are obtained. These expressions show that
the effect of the force ($F$) manifests itself in the escape rate dependence on
the only parameter $\varphi = Fa/(2k_b T)$, where $a$ is the Onzager radius of
the attractive part of the well $U(r)$, defined by the relation $|U(a)| = k_b T$. The limiting behavior of this dependence in the cases of weak and strong
force is analyzed in detail. Possible applications as well as the relation of
the results of the analysis to those obtained earlier are briefly discussed.

Title: Modulation Spectroscopy and Dynamics of Double Occupancies in a
Fermionic Mott Insulator
Authors: Rajdeep Sensarma, David Pekker, Mikhail D. Lukin and Eugene Demler
Categories: cond-mat.other cond-mat.str-el
\\
We calculate the rate of creation of double occupancies in a 3D
Fermionic Mott insulator near half-filling by modulation of optical lattice
peaked at the Hubbard repulsion $U$. At low temperatures, antiferromagnetic
order leads to a coherent peak for the hole along with broad features
representing spin wave shake-off processes. This is manifested in the doublon
creation rate as a sharp absorption edge and oscillations as a function of
modulating frequency. Thus, modulation spectroscopy can be used as a probe of
antiferromagnetic order and nature of quasiparticle excitations in the system.

At ultracold temperatures, the Pauli exclusion principle suppresses
collisions between identical fermions. This has motivated the development of
atomic clocks using fermionic isotopes. However, by probing an optical clock
transition with thousands of lattice-confined, ultracold fermionic Sr atoms, we
have observed density-dependent collisional frequency shifts. These collision
effects have been measured systematically and are supported by a theoretical
description attributing them to inhomogeneities in the probe excitation process
that render the atoms distinguishable. This work has also yielded insights for
zeroing the clock density shift.

New physics arises as a result of bistability and discontinuous jumps in the

Title: Quantum Phases of Ultracold Bosonic Atoms in two Bands of an
Optical-Lattice coupled by a Cavity Field
Authors: Hashem Zoubi, and Helmut Ritsch
Categories: quant-ph
\\
We study the quantum phase transitions between superfluid and Mott insulator
states for ultracold bosons occupying two bands of an optical lattice. The two
atomic states are resonantly coupled by a single cavity mode which mediates
transitions between the two bosonic particle modes via absorption or emission
of a cavity photon. This coupling between the bands shifts the appearance of
the Mott insulator phase towards deeper optical lattice potentials and stronger
on-site interaction strength, as atomic coherence can build up via photon
assisted tunneling in both bands. Varying the intra and interband on-site
interactions leads to several different atomic phase configurations. There are
even parameter regions where a mean field approach predicts concurrence of a
Mott insulator state in one band, while atoms in the second band stay
superfluid.

Title: Effects of a dilute gas of fermions on the superfluid-insulator phase
diagram of the Bose-Hubbard model
Authors: Sumanta Tewari, Roman Lutchyn, S. Das Sarma
Categories: cond-mat.str-el quant-ph
Comments: 16 pages, 3 eps figures
\\
Building on the work of Fisher et al. (Phys. Rev. B 40, 546 (1989)), we
develop a framework for perturbation theory in the Bose-Hubbard model and apply
it to calculate the effects of a degenerate gas of spin-polarized fermions
interacting by contact interactions with the constituent bosons. For the
single-band Bose-Hubbard model, the only non-trivial effect of the fermions is
to induce an effective space- and time-dependent density-density interaction
among the bosons. Using a path integral formulation, we develop the appropriate
theory describing the perturbative effects of this fermion-mediated interaction
(fermionic screening) on the generic superfluid-insulator phase diagram. For
the single-band Bose-Hubbard model, we find that the net effect of the fermions
is to inherently suppress the Mott-insulating lobes and enhance the area
occupied by the superfluid phase in the phase diagram. For the more general
multi-band Bose-Hubbard model, we find that, in addition to the fermion
screening of the boson interactions, the virtual excitations of the bosons to
the higher Bloch bands coupled with the contact interactions with the fermions
result in an effective increase of the boson on-site repulsion. If this
renormalization of the boson on-site potential is dominant over the fermion
screening of the boson interactions, the area of the Mott insulating lobes of
the Bose-Hubbard phase diagram will be enhanced for either sign of the
boson-fermion interactions, as seen in recent experiments.

We analytically derive the general pseudo-potential operator of an arbitrary

dependence of the phase-shift for an arbitrary potential with a power-law
decaying tail, $V_{\rm 2D}(\rho)\propto \rho^{-\alpha}$ (for $\alpha>2$). We
apply our results to the 2D dipolar gases ($\alpha=3$) as an example,
calculating the momentum and dipole moment dependence of the pseudo-potential
for both $s$- and p-wave scattering channels if the two scattering particles
are in the same 2D layer. We also calculate the result for the s-wave
scattering between particles in two different (parallel) layers. Our analytic

mean-field theory, we calculate the transmission probability and phase shift,
as well as the energy flux and quasiparticle current carried by Bogoliubov
excitations. We find that Bogoliubov phonons twist the condensate phase due to
a back-reaction effect, which induces the Josephson supercurrent. While the
total current given by the sum of quasiparticle current and induced
supercurrent is conserved, the quasiparticle current flowing through the
barrier potential is shown to be remarkably enhanced in the low energy region.
When the condensate densities are different between the left and right of the
barrier, the excess quasiparticle current, as well as the induced supercurrent,
remain finite far away from the barrier. We also consider the tunneling of
excitations and atoms through the boundary between the normal and superfluid
regions. We show that supercurrent can be generated inside the condensate by
injecting free atoms from outside. On the other hand, atoms are emitted when
the Bogoliubov phonons propagate toward the phase boundary from the superfluid
region.

Title: Caustic formation in expanding condensates of cold atoms
Authors: J. T. Chalker, B. Shapiro
Categories: cond-mat.dis-nn cond-mat.other
\\
We study the evolution of density in an expanding Bose-Einstein condensate
that initially has a spatially varying phase, concentrating on behaviour when
these phase variations are large. In this regime large density fluctuations
develop during expansion. Maxima have a characteristic density that diverges
with the amplitude of phase variations and their formation is analogous to that
of caustics in geometrical optics. We analyse in detail caustic formation in a
quasi-one dimensional condensate, which before expansion is subject to a
periodic or random optical potential, and we discuss the equivalent problem for
a quasi-two dimensional system. We also examine the influence of many-body
correlations in the initial state on caustic formation for a Bose gas expanding
from a strictly one-dimensional trap. In additon, we study a similar
arrangement for non-interacting fermions, showing that Fermi surface
discontinuities in the momentum distribution give rise in that case to sharp
peaks in the spatial derivative of the density. We discuss recent experiments
and argue that fringes reported in time of flight images by Chen and co-workers
[Phys. Rev. A 77, 033632 (2008)] are an example of caustic formation.

Title: Exploiting the composite character of Rydberg atoms for cold atom
trapping
Authors: M. Mayle, I. Lesanovsky and P. Schmelcher
Categories: physics.atom-ph
\\
By investigating the quantum properties of magnetically trapped nS Rydberg
atoms, it is demonstrated that the composite nature of Rydberg atoms
significantly alters their trapping properties opposed to point-like particles
with the same magnetic moment. We show how the specific signatures of the
Rydberg trapping potential can be probed by means of ground state atoms that
are off-resonantly coupled to the Rydberg state via a two photon laser
transition. In addition, it is demonstrated how this approach provides new
possibilities for generating traps for ground state atoms. Simulated
time-of-flight pictures mirroring the experimental situation are provided.

We have observed Fermi polarons, dressed spin down impurities in a spin up
Fermi sea of ultracold atoms. The polaron manifests itself as a narrow peak in
the impurities' rf spectrum that emerges from a broad incoherent background. We
determine the polaron energy and the quasiparticle residue for various
interaction strengths around a Feshbach resonance. At a critical interaction,
we observe the transition from polaronic to molecular binding. Here, the
imbalanced Fermi liquid undergoes a phase transition into a Bose liquid
coexisting with a Fermi sea.

Title: Theory of coherence in Bose-Einstein condensation phenomena in a
microwave driven interacting magnon gas
Authors: Sergio M. Rezende
Categories: cond-mat.other cond-mat.stat-mech
Comments: 26 pages, 9 figures, 46 references
\\
Strong experimental evidences of the formation of quasi-equilibrium
Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of magnons at room temperature in a film of
yttrium iron garnet (YIG) excited by microwave radiation have been recently
reported. Here we present a theory for the magnon gas driven by a microwave
field far out of equilibrium showing that the nonlinear magnetic interactions
create cooperative mechanisms for the onset of a phase transition leading to
the spontaneous generation of quantum coherence and magnetic dynamic order in a
macroscopic scale. The theory provides rigorous support for the formation of a
BEC of magnons in a YIG film magnetized in the plane. We show that the system
develops coherence only when the microwave driving power exceeds a threshold
value and that the theoretical result for the intensity of the Brillouin light
scattering from the BEC as a function of power agrees with the experimental
data. The theory also explains quantitatively experimental measurements of
microwave emission from the uniform mode generated by the confluence of BEC
magnon pairs in a YIG film when the driving power exceeds a critical value.

We study Josephson oscillations of a two component Bose-Einstein condensate
(BEC) in a double well-potential. We demonstrate that in the strongly polarized
case, the less populated component exhibits anti-Josephson behavior, i.e.
oscillates in phase with the more populated one. For the case of balanced
populations, the oscillations frequency does not depend on atomic interactions.
Both effects may serve to control the Josephson oscillations and to measure
precisely the relevant scattering lengths.

Title: Gaussian phase-space representation of Fermion dynamics; Beyond the
time-dependent-Hartree-Fock approximation
Authors: Saar Rahav, Shaul Mukamel
Categories: cond-mat.other cond-mat.stat-mech
\\
A Gaussian operator representation for the many body density matrix of
fermionic systems, developed by Corney and Drummond [Phys. Rev. Lett, v93,
260401 (2004)], is used to derive new approximation schemes for their dynamics.
In this approach the reduced single electron density matrix elements serve as
stochastic variables which satisfy an exact Fokker-Planck equation. The number
of variables scales as ~N^2 rather than ~exp(N) with the basis set size, and
the time dependent Hartree Fock approximation (TDHF) is recovered in the
"classical" limit. An approximate closed set of equations of motion for the one
and two-particle reduced density matrices, provides a direct generalization of
the TDHF.

constant Wilson loop
Authors: N. Goldman, A. Kubasiak, P. Gaspard and M. Lewenstein
Categories: cond-mat.mes-hall
Comments: To appear in Phys. Rev. A (12 pages, 2 appendices, 7 figures)
\\
Nowadays it is experimentally feasible to create artificial, and in
particular, non-Abelian gauge potentials for ultracold atoms trapped in optical
lattices. Motivated by this fact, we investigate the fundamental properties of
an ultracold Fermi gas in a non-Abelian U(2) gauge potential characterized by a
constant Wilson loop. Under this specific condition, the energy spectrum
exhibits a robust band structure with large gaps and reveals a new fractal
figure. The transverse conductivity is related to topological invariants and is
shown to be quantized when the Fermi energy lies inside a gap of the spectrum.
We demonstrate that the analogue of the integer quantum Hall effect for neutral
atoms survives the non-Abelian coupling and leads to a striking fractal phase
diagram. Moreover, this coupling induces an anomalous Hall effect as observed
in graphene.

Categories: physics.atom-ph physics.ins-det

We discuss the feasibility to realize a space cold atom clock with
counter-propagating cold atoms in microgravity. The design of the space clock
is based on atomic beam clock with a Ramsey cavity, except a magneto-optical
trap (MOT) is placed at each side. Cold atoms are launched from MOTs at both
side of the clock simultaneously and move at counter-direction towards each
other. The velocity of launched atoms is precisely controlled to the
Ramsauer-Townsend resonance so that no additional collision frequency shift is
taken place. Such a configuration can efficiently cancel the frequency shift
led from cavity phase shift and increase the signal to noise.

In order to demonstrate that atomic Fermi gas is a good experimental reality
in studying unsolved problems in frustrated interacting-spin systems, we
Fermi gases on triangular optical lattices. Consequently, we find that plateau
like structures are observable in the Mott core polarization as a function of
the population imbalance. These plateau states are caused by a flexibility that
the surrounding metallic region absorbs the excess imbalance to keep the
plateau states inside the Mott core. We also find spin patterns peculiar to the
plateau states inside the Mott core.

Authors: A.P. Itin and P. T\"orm\"a
Categories: cond-mat.other cond-mat.stat-mech
Comments: 3 pages. Submitted to CEWQO 2009 on 14th February
\\
We consider dynamics of a slowly time-dependent Dicke model, which represents
a many-body generalization of the Landau-Zener model. In particular, the model
describes narrow Feshbach resonance passage in an ultracold gas of Fermi atoms.
Adiabaticity is destroyed when a parameter crosses a critical value, even at
very slow sweeping rates of a parameter. The dynamics crucially depends on
direction of the sweep. We apply our recent analysis [A.P. Itin, P. Torma,
arXiv:0901.4778v1] to the "inverse" sweep through the resonance, corresponding
(in a context of Feshbach resonance passage) to dissociation of molecules. On a
level of the mean-field approximation, the dynamics is equivalent to a
molecular condensate formation from Bose atoms within a two-mode model. Mapping
the system to a Painlev\'e equation allows us to calculate deviation from
adiabaticity at very slow sweeps analytically.

photons have left the cavity, leaving the atoms in a coherent superposition of

We study a two dimensionl Bose Hubbad model at a zero temperature with random
local potentials in the presence of either uniform or binary disorder. Many
low-energy metastable configurations are found with virtually the same energy
as the ground state. These are characterized by the same blotchy pattern of
the, in principle, complex nonzero local order parameter as the ground state.
Yet, unlike the ground state, each island exhibits an overall random
independent phase. The different phases in different coherent islands could
provide a further explanation for the lack of coherence observed in experiments

Title: Two atomic quantum dots interacting via coupling to BECs
Authors: Anna Posazhennikova, Wolfgang Belzig
Categories: cond-mat.other
\\
We consider a system of three weakly coupled Bose-Einstein condensates and
two atomic quantum dots embedded in the barriers between the condensates. Each
dot is coupled to two neighboring condensates by optical transitions and can be
described as a two-state system, or a pseudospin 1/2. Although there is no
direct coupling between the dots, an effective interaction between the
pseudospins is induced due to their coupling to the condensate reservoirs. We
investigate this effective interaction, depending on the strengths of the
dot-condensate coupling T and the direct coupling J between the condensates. In
particular, we show that an initially ferromagnetic arrangement of the two
pseudospins stays intact even for large T/J. However, antiferromagnetically
aligned spins undergo peculiar "breathing" modes for weak coupling T/J<1, while
for strong coupling the behaviour of the spins becomes uncorrelated.

Three-body systems with large scattering length display universal phenomena

enhancement of three-body loss rates when an Efimov three-body resonance is at

atom-dimer relaxation rate for large positive scattering length. We improve
upon earlier studies and calculate the atom-dimer relaxation rate as a function
of temperature using a Bose-Einstein distribution for the thermal average. As
input, we use calculations of the atom-dimer scattering phase shifts from

Through the introduction of a class of appropriate translationally invariant
trial wave functions, we show that the strong correlations in the lowest Landau
level (LLL) reflect in finite systems the emergence of intrinsic point-group
symmetries associated with rotations and vibrations of molecules formed through
particle localization. This quantal molecular description is universal, being
valid for both bosons and fermions, for both the yrast and excited states of
the LLL spectra, and for both low and high angular momenta. "Quantum-fluid"
physical pictures associated with Jastrow-type trial functions are shown to be
reducible to the molecular description introduced in this paper.
