Engineering Feshbach resonances by time-periodic driving — •Christoph Dauer, Axel Pelster, and Sebastian Eggert — Physics Department and Research Centre OPTIMAS, Technische Universität Kaiserslautern, Erwin-Schrödinger Straße 46, 67663 Kaiserslautern, Germany

Magnetic Feshbach resonances are a powerful tool in order to control the scattering length in ultracold gas experiments [1], but are limited to given atomic species or applied magnetic field strengths. Here we investigate a periodically driven two-channel model describing magnetic Feshbach resonances using the Floquet formalism [2-4]. Position and width of the resulting resonances, which appear in the scattering length, turn out to be tunable by both driving strength and frequency. An extension of our two-channel model also allows to describe the corresponding case of an optical Feshbach resonance [5], where either the Rabi frequency or the detuning is modulated periodically in time. The goal of these investigations is to check whether the variability of the accessible s-wave scattering lengths can be increased by the time-periodic modulation.
