Exact thermodynamics for weakly interacting normal-phase quantum gases: Equations of state for all partial waves
Abstract
While the thermodynamics for bosonic systems with weak s-wave interactions has been known for decades, a general and systematic extension to higher partial waves has not yet been reported. We provide closed-form expressions for the equations of state for weakly interacting systems with arbitrary partial waves in the normal phase. Thermodynamics, including contact, loss rate, and compressibility, are derived over the entire temperature regime. Our results offer an improved thermometer for ultracold atoms and molecules with weak high-partial wave interactions.
