TL;DR

This paper investigates the zero-temperature equation of state in low-dimensional weakly interacting Bose gases, highlighting universal behavior in the dilute regime and proposing methods to estimate non-universal corrections.

Universal equation of state in dilute regime for 1D and 2D systems

Energy-dependent scattering length effectively estimates non-universal corrections

Non-universal effects are observable at specific densities in trapped gases

Abstract

The zero-temperature equation of state is analyzed in low-dimensional bosonic systems. In the dilute regime the equation of state is universal in terms of the gas parameter, i.e. it is the same for different potentials with the same value of the s-wave scattering length. Series expansions of the universal equation of state are reported for one- and two- dimensional systems. We propose to use the concept of energy-dependent s-wave scattering length for obtaining estimations of non-universal terms in the energy expansion. We test this approach by making a comparison to exactly solvable one-dimensional problems and find that the generated terms have the correct structure. The applicability to two-dimensional systems is analyzed by comparing with results of Monte Carlo simulations. The prediction for the non-universal behavior is qualitatively correct and the densities, at which the deviations from the universal equation of state become visible, are estimated properly. Finally, the possibility of observing the non-universal terms in experiments with trapped gases is also discussed.
