The universal behavior of a three-boson system close to the unitary limit is encoded in a simple dependence of many observables in terms of few parameters. For example the product of the three-body parameter $\kappa_*$ and the two-body…
Recent experiments performed on weakly pinched quantum point contacts, have shown a resistance that tend to decrease at low source drain voltage. We show that enhanced Coulomb interactions, prompt by the presence of the point contact, may…
