We derive pseudopotentials that describe the scattering between two particles in two dimensions for any partial wave m, whose scattering strength is parametrized in terms of the phase shift deltam. Using our m=0 pseudopotential, we develop a coupled-channel model with two-dimensional (2D) zero-range interactions, which describes the two-body physics across a Feshbach resonance. Our model predicts the scattering length, the binding energy, and the "closed channel molecular fraction" of two particles; these observables can be measured in experiments on ultracold quasi-2D atomic Bose and Fermi gases with present-day technology.
