Renormalization approach to bound state energy computation for two ultracold atoms in an optical lattice

In experiments with ultra-cold gases, two alkali atoms, that interact with repulsive or attractive potentials and are confined to an optical lattice, can form bound states. In order to compute the energy of such states formed by atoms in the lowest Bloch band, one needs to take into account the intr...
