Abstract
We study a scaling and coordinate transformation to physically simulate quantum three-body collinear chemical reactions of the type A+BC → AB+C by the motion of a single ultracold atom or a weakly interacting Bose-Einstein condensate on an L-shaped waveguide. We determine its feasibility with current technology and its limitations. As an example we work out the parameters to model the reaction F+H2 → H+HF by the propagation of ultracold lithium atoms.
