5. In the deep BEC regime, i.e., for small negative s -wave scattering length as, the energies of the BEC branches depend in general on the range R0 of the two-body potential. This dependence can, in principle, be eliminated by taking the limit R0 →0. Throughout this work, we do not evaluate the R0 →0 limit for numerical reasons, and instead subtract the dimer binding energy [see Eq. 5]. Consequently, we refer to states of the BEC branch as universal states if their energy, with the dimer binding energy subtracted, is independent of the range of the two-body potential.

17. The terms spin up and spin down are used figuratively. For equal masses, these terms refer to two atoms of the same isotope trapped in two different internal (hyperfine) states. For unequal masses, these terms refer to two different fermionic atoms, each trapped in a suitable internal (hyperfine) state.
