Abstract
The dimensionality of an ultracold quantum gas can vastly affect its properties, leading to a great deal of interest in lower dimensional systems. In two dimensions, the transition to superfluidity is a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) [1,2] phase transition. This is identified by the pairing of vortices with opposite circulation and has been observed in Bose gases [3]. Other phenomena that occur in two-dimensional systems include confinement-induced resonances [4] and the emergence of a two-body bound state for arbitrarily weak attractive interactions [5].
