• Abstract: The two-body scattering amplitude and energy spectrum of confined ultracold atoms are of fundamental importance for studies of ultracold atom physics. For many systems, one can efficiently calculate these quantities via the zero-range Huang-Yang pseudopotential (HYP), in which the interatomic interaction is characterized by the scattering length $a$. Furthermore, when the scattering length is dependent on the kinetic energy $\varepsilon_{\rm r}$ of two-atom relative motion, the results are applicable for a broad energy region. However, when the free Hamiltonian of atomic internal state does not commute with the inter-atomic interaction, or the center-of-mass (c.m.) motion is coupled to the relative motion, the generalization of this technique is still lacking. We solve this problem and construct a reasonable energy-dependent multi-channel HYP, which is characterized by a "scattering length operator" ${\hat a}_{\rm eff}$. Here ${\hat a}_{\rm eff}$ is an operator for atomic internal states and c.m. motion, and depends on both the total two-atom energy and the external field as well as the trapping parameter. The effects from the internal-state or c.m.-relative motion coupling can be self-consistently taken into account by ${\hat a}_{\rm eff}$. We further show a method based on the quantum defect theory, with which ${\hat a}_{\rm eff}$ can be analytically derived for systems with van der Waals inter-atomic interaction. To demonstrate our method, we calculate the spectrum of two ultracold fermionic alkaline-earth-like atoms confined in an optical lattice. By comparing our results with the recent experimental measurements for two Yb173 atoms and two Yb171 atoms, we calibrate the scattering lengths $a_{\pm}$ with respect to anti-symmetric and symmetric nuclear-spin states to be $a_{+}=2012(19)a_{0}$ and $a_{-}=193(4)a_{0}$ for Yb173, and $a_{+}=232(3)a_{0}$ and $a_{-}=372(1)a_{0}$ for Yb171.

The chemical bond formation is attributed to the Heitler-London resonance of quasi-orthogonal atomic states with no contributions from kinetic energy or charge accumulation in the bond.

  We show that due to the structure of alkaline-earth (like) atoms, the heating effects induced by the laser beams of our methods are very weak. As a result, the Feshbach resonances, with which one can efficiently control the SEI by changing the laser intensity, may be induced by the laser beams with low-enough heating rate.
