We study small clusters of bosons, $A=2,3,4,5,6$, characterized by a resonant interaction. Firstly, we use a soft-gaussian interaction that reproduces the values of the dimer binding energy and the atom-atom scattering length obtained with…
Some novel TWO-body effects analogous to the well-known THREE-body Efimov effect are predicted. In the systems considered, particle A is constrained on a TRUNCATED or BENT one-dimensional line or two-dimensional plane, or on one side of a…
Wave-particle duality in quantum mechanics allows for a halo bound state whose spatial extension far exceeds a range of the interaction potential. What is even more striking is that such quantum halos can be arbitrarily large on special…
Three-body loss resonances associated with heavy-heavy-light Efimov states have been observed for over a decade in ultracold mixtures tuned near interspecies Feshbach resonances. For light-light-heavy systems, observing such resonances has…
We investigate the occurrence of Borromean three-body continuum s-wave resonances, in an $\alpha\alpha\beta$ system for large negative two-body scattering lengths. The energy and width are determined by a scaling function with arguments…
The quantum mechanical three-body problem is a source of continuing interest due to its complexity and not least due to the presence of fascinating solvable cases. The prime example is the Efimov effect where infinitely many bound states of…
The Efimov effect can be induced by means of an external deformed one-body field that effectively reduces the allowed spatial dimensions to less than three. To understand this new mechanism, conceptually and practically, we employ a…
Ultracold atomic gases have recently become a driving force in few-body physics due to the observation of the Efimov effect. While initially observed in equal mass systems, one expects even richer few-body physics in the heteronuclear case.…
When two particles attract via a resonant short-range interaction, three particles always form an infinite tower of bound states characterized by a discrete scaling symmetry. It has been considered that this Efimov effect exists only in…
The low-energy spectrum of three particles interacting via nearly resonant two-body interactions in the Efimov regime is set by the so-called three-body parameter. We show that the three-body parameter is essentially determined by the…
Universal behaviour has been found inside the window of Efimov physics for systems with $N=4,5,6$ particles. Efimov physics refers to the emergence of a number of three-body states in systems of identical bosons interacting {\it via} a…
The two-channel model for bosons with the three-body interaction is proposed. Similar to the Hamiltonian describing narrow Feshbach resonance in the two-body sector, our model includes the finite-range effects of the three-body potential…
Efimov effect is characterized by an infinite number of three-body bound states following a universal geometric scaling law at two-body resonances. In this paper, we investigate the influence of two-body loss which can be described by a…
In this note we discuss the Efimov effect emerging in a three-particle quantum system with zero-range interactions. In particular, we consider two non-interacting identical bosons plus a different lighter particle such that the interaction…
We consider a system of three identical bosons in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with two-body zero-range interactions and a three-body hard-core repulsion of a given radius $a>0$. Using a quadratic form approach we prove that the corresponding Hamiltonian…
A universal dimer is subject to secondary collisions with atoms when formed in a cloud of ultracold atoms via three-body recombination. We show that in a collisionally opaque medium, the value of the scattering length that results in the…
The bound states of a system consisting of two heavy identical atoms and one light electron interacting through the finite-range pairwise potentials are explored, focusing on their dependence on the electron-atom scattering length. In the…

Particles with short-range interactions and a large scattering length have universal low-energy properties that do not depend on the details of their structure or their interactions at short distances. In the 2-body sector, the universal…
