A special four-body quantum model in one dimension with a discrete spectrum was introduced, including harmonic oscillator and three-body interaction potentials. After reducing one degree of freedom by using the Jacobian transformation in the center of mass, the desired Hamiltonian is examined in spherical coordinate with three degrees of freedom. To investigate this model algebraically, using the gauge rotation with the ground state wave function, the relation between the Hamiltonian and the generators of (sl(3, {mathbb {R}})) and (sl(2, {mathbb {R}})) Lie algebras is examined. Finally, this algebraic form helps us to get the Hamiltonian eigenvalues.

The oscillator bases expansion stands as an efficient approximation method for the time-independent Schrödinger equation. The method, originally formulated with one non-linear variational parameter, can be extended to incorporate two such parameters. It handles both non- and semi-relativistic kinematics with generic two-body interactions. In the current work, focusing on systems of three identical bodies, the method is generalised to include the management of a given class of three-body forces. The computational cost of this generalisation proves to not exceed the one for two-body interactions. The accuracy of the generalisation is assessed by comparing with results from Lagrange mesh method and hyperspherical harmonic expansions. Extensions for systems of N identical bodies and for systems of two identical particles and one distinct are also discussed.

We give a detailed and self-contained description of a recently developed theoretical and numerical method for the simulation of three identical bosonic alkali-metal atoms near a Feshbach resonance, where the Efimov effect is induced. The method is based on a direct construction of the off-shell two-body transition matrix from exact eigenfunctions of the embedded two-body Hamiltonians, obtained using realistic parameterizations of the interaction potentials which accurately reproduce the molecular energy levels. The transition matrix is then inserted into the appropriate three-body integral equations, which may be efficiently solved on a computer. We focus especially on the power of our method in including rigorously the effects of multichannel physics on the three-body problem, which are usually accounted for only by various approximations. We demonstrate the method for ⁷Li, where we recently showed that a correct inclusion of this multichannel physics resolves the long-standing disagreement between theory and experiment regarding the Efimovian three-body parameter. We analyze the Efimovian enhancement of the three-body recombination rate on both sides of the Feshbach resonance, revealing strong sensitivity to the spin structure of the model thus indicating the prevalence of three-body spin-exchange physics. Finally, we discuss an extension of our methodology to the calculation of three-body bound-state energies.

In this work, we present a study on the role of atomic configurations in forming van der Waals molecules through three-body recombination. Fixing the angle between the two momenta associated with the Jacobi vectors, we calculate the reaction probability for a specific configuration. In this way, we elucidate the nature of the total reaction probability in reactions X + He + He(rightarrow )XHe + He, essential for understanding van der Waals molecules formation in molecular beams and buffer gas cells.

In this paper we present the first pilot calculation of the elastic and inelastic cross sections for the 5-body scattering of antihydrogen ions with positronium atoms. These cross sections have not been calculated before and are not known experimentally. In particular, we focus on the collisional rearrangement reactions (bar{{ mathrm H}}^+ + textrm{Ps} rightarrow {bar{textrm{H}}}textrm{Ps} +{mathrm{e^+}}) which deplete the (bar{textrm{H}}^+) ions and result in stable atomcules (bar{textrm{H}}textrm{Ps}). To better understand the mechanism of this rearrangement, we study the 3-dimensional, angle resolved positron densities of the 3- and 4-body fragments in the initial and final states of the rearrangement collision.

Glitches are sudden spin-up events that interrupt the gradual spin-down of rotating neutron stars. They are believed to arise from the rapid unpinning of vortices in the neutron star inner crust. The analogy between the inner crust of neutron stars and dipolar supersolids allows to investigate glitches. Employing such analogy, we numerically analyze the vortex trapping mechanism and how the matter density distribution influences glitches. These results pave the way for the quantum simulation of celestial bodies in laboratories.

By developing the mean-field theory valid for large N, we investigate the problem of two light fermions interacting via a zero-range potential with N heavy fermions in two dimensions. We obtain numerical evidence that this system is never fully bound. It always splits into droplets containing a single light atom. This is in contrast to the one-dimensional case where any number of heavy and light fermions can be bound together.

We use a combination of effective field theory and the renormalization group to determine the impact of radiative corrections on the nucleon–nucleon potential and the binding energy of the deuteron. In order to do so, we present a modified version of pionless effective field theory inspired by earlier work in nonrelativistic quantum electrodynamics. The renormalization group improvement of the deuteron binding energy leads to a shift on the order of a few percent and is consistent with the experimental value. This work serves as a starting point for a dedicated study of radiative corrections in few-body systems relevant for precision tests of the Standard Model in an effective field theory framework.
