Let’s Start with an Opening Question……. Can one hear the shape of a drum? • The frequencies at which a drumhead can vibrate depend on its shape. • If we know the shape, the Helmholtz equation tells us the frequencies, which are the eigen-values of the Laplacian in the region. Question: can they tell us the shape of the drum if we know the frequencies?

Analogous Questions in Ultra-cold Gases • Important effects of dimensionality; • Experimentally, dimension is control using traps; • - Quasi-2D is realized; • - Yet, quasi-2D is different with pure 2D; • How to visualize dimensional crossovers in collective frequencies?

However….. • Previously, a universal breathing frequency is dictated • by PR symmetry; • However, quantum effects can break the PR symmetry • and shift the breathing frequency !
Broken PR Symmetry in Pure 2D Quantum Gases: Mechanism (I) The scale invariance is broken and quantum anomaly arises for a pure 2D Bose gas even in the case of constant interaction coupling !!!! L. P. Pitaevskii and A. Rosch, Phys. Rev. A 55, R853 (1997)
Broken PR Symmetry in Pure 2D Quantum Gases: Mechanism (I) Mechanism one: Quantum anomaly arises directly from quantization
Broken PR Symmetry in Quasi-2D Quantum Gases: Mechanism (II) Mechanism two: Scale invariance is violated by quantum fluctuations (Y. Hu and Z. Liang PRL107_110401)

Experimental Considerations: Finite Size Effect 1. Sum rule approach to such frequency shift
Experimental Considerations: Nonlinear Effect 2. Frequency shift due to effect of nonlinearity
Experimental Considerations: Vortex 3. The issue of vortex is closely related to operational anisotropy in excitation schemes
Summary: One Can Hear the Shape of a Drum • Experimentally, hierarchical 3D-2D dimensional crossover • Crossover in kinematics (Qausi-2D regime) • Crossover in two-body scattering: 3D scattering to 2D scattering • Visualize such dimensional effects in collective breathing frequencies
