Title:Two atoms in a harmonic trap with spin-orbital-angular-momentum coupling
View PDFAbstract:We study the problem of two harmonically trapped atoms in the presence of spin-orbital-angular-momentum coupling. The two-body energy spectrum is numerically calculated by utilizing the exact diagonalization method. We analyze how the degeneracy of energy levels is lifted under the interplay between the interatomic interaction and spin-orbital-angular-momentum coupling. The exact numerical results show an excellent agreement with that of perturbation theory in the weak-interaction limit, as well as that in the absence of spin-orbital-angular-momentum coupling. The properties of correlations between the two atoms are also discussed with respect to the interaction strength. The findings in this work may provide valuable insights into few-body physics subjected to spin-orbital-angular-momentum coupling, and the possible experimental detection of spectrum functions in many-body systems, such as radio-frequency spectroscopy.
