Abstract
Alkali-earth atoms have a long-lived electronic excited state, which can be localized in the Fermi sea of ground state atoms by an external potential and serve as magnetic impurities, due to the spin-exchange interaction between the excited and the ground state atoms. This can give rise to the Kondo effect. However, in order to achieve this effect in current atomic gas experiment, it requires the Kondo temperature to be increased to a sizable portion of the Fermi temperature. In this letter we propose that the spin-exchange interaction can be strongly enhanced by utilizing the confinement-induced resonance (CIR). We analyze this system by the renormalization group approach, and we show that nearby a CIR, the Kondo temperature can indeed be increased to the regime attainable by current experiments.
