The multipolar Hamiltonian of quantum electrodynamics (QED) is extensively employed in chemical and optical physics to treat rigorously the interaction of electromagnetic fields with matter. It is also widely used to evaluate intermolecular…
Hadron spectra and other properties of quark systems are studied in the framework of a non-relativistic spin-independent phenomenological model. The chosen confining potential is harmonic, which allowed us to obtain analytical solutions for…
Using non-relativistic effective Lagrangians in the particle-dimer picture, we rederive the expression for the energy shift of a loosely bound three-particle bound state of identical bosons in the unitary limit. The effective field theory…
We investigate one-dimensional three-body systems composed of two identical bosons and one imbalanced atom (impurity) with two-body and three-body zero-range interactions. For the case in the absence of three-body interaction, we give a…
Baym and Farrar (arXiv:2601.02300v1) have recently pointed out a puzzle in understanding the role of the hyperfine interaction in the ground state of a hydrogen atom. If one uses a variational wave function in which the Bohr radius, $a_0$…
We reconsider the homogeneous Faddeev-Merkuriev integral equations for three-body Coulombic systems with attractive Coulomb interactions and point out that the resonant solutions are contaminated with spurious resonances. The spurious…
Three-body Faddeev-type equations for bound, resonant, and scattering states in the systems with a nuclear core and two nucleons are solved using the momentum-space framework. Two approaches for eliminating the Pauli-forbidden deeply-bound…

We present analytical solutions to a quantum-mechanical three-body problem in three dimensions, which describes a helium-like two-electron atom. Similarly to Hooke's atom, the Coulombic electron-nucleus interaction potentials are replaced…
The spatial structure of the lowest 0$_1^+$, 0$_2^+$, 2$_1^+$ and 2$_2^+$ states of the $^{12}$C nucleus is studied within the 3$\alpha$ model with the Buck, Friedrich, and Wheatley $\alpha \alpha$ potential with Pauli forbidden states in…
We analyze the elastic scattering of protons on a 4n system. This was used as part of the detection technique of a recent experiment [1] to search for the 4n (tetraneutron) as a bound particle. We show that it is unlikely that this process…
New physics motivated by muonic puzzles (proton radius and muon $g-2$ discrepancies) is studied. Using a light scalar boson $\phi$, assuming Yukawa interactions, accounts for these muonic puzzles simultaneously. Our previous work limits the…
Motivated by the continuous experimental investigations of $X(1835)$ in three-body decay channels like $\eta^\prime \pi^+ \pi^-$, we investigate the $\eta^\prime K \bar K$ system with the aim of searching for bound states and/or resonances…

High-precision laser spectroscopy of atomic energy levels enables the measurement of nuclear properties. Sensitivity to these properties is particularly enhanced in muonic atoms which are bound systems of a muon and a nucleus. Exemplary is…
A new variational basis with well-behaved local approximation properties and multiple output is proposed for Coulomb systems. The trial function has proper behaviour at all Coulomb centres. Nonlinear asymptotic parameters are introduced…
The measurement of the Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen and the subsequent emergence of the proton-radius puzzle have motivated an experimental campaign devoted to measuring the Lamb shift in other light muonic atoms, such as muonic deuterium…
Protons are bound states of the strong interaction governed by Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). Its charge radius ($r_{E}^{p}$) is an important quantity as it characterizes the spatial distribution of the proton's charge, which is carried by…
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…
