The $DK$ interaction is strong enough to form a bound state, the $D_{s0}^*(2317)$. This in turn begs the question of whether there are bound states composed of several charmed mesons and a kaon. Previous calculations indicate that the…

Starting from 2003, a large number of the so-called exotic hadrons, such as $X(3872)$ and $D_{s0}^*(2317)$, were discovered experimentally. Since then, understanding the nature of these states has been a central issue both theoretically and…

The discovery of numerous new hadrons over the past two decades has provided unprecedented opportunities to understand the non-perturbative QCD and hadron structure. Hadronic molecule picture plays an important role in explaining these new…

The possible neutral $D^{(*)}\bar{D}^{(*)}$ and $B^{(*)}\bar{B}^{(*)}$ molecular states are studied in the framework of the constituent quark models, which is extended by including the $s$-channel one gluon exchange. Using different types…

Assuming that $D_{s0}^{*}(2317)$ is a $DK$ molecular state with a binding energy of 45 MeV, we investigate the existence of four-hadron molecules, $DDKK$ and $D\Bar{D}K\Bar{K}$, with the Gaussian expansion method. Their binding energies are…

Motivated by the recent discovery of two new states in the $B^+\rightarrow D^+D^-K^+$ decay by the LHCb Collaboration, we study the $D\bar{D}K$ three-body system by solving the Schr\"odinger equation with the Gaussian Expansion Method. We…

We predict a new three-body hadronic molecule composed of antikaon $\bar{K}$, anticharm meson $\bar{D}$, and nucleon $N$ with spin/parity $J^{P} = 1/2^{+}$ and isospin $I = 1/2$. This state behaves like an explicit pentaquark state because…

We investigate hadronic molecular states with the quark contents $ccqq\bar{s}$, $bbqq\bar{s}$, and $bcqq\bar{s}$ $(q=u,d)$ by employing the extended local hidden gauge approach. Considering that the $S$-wave meson-baryon interactions are…

Motivated by the recent discovery of the first hidden charm pentaquark state with strangeness $P_{cs}(4459)$ by the LHCb Collaboration, we study the likely existence of a three-body $\Sigma_{c}\bar{D}\bar{K}$ bound state, which shares the…

We investigate the tetraquark bound states that are manifestly exotic using three distinct few-body methods: Gaussian Expansion Method (GEM), Resonating Group Method (RGM), and Diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC). We refer to manifestly exotic…

A potential quark model is used to search for a $P_{c\bar{c}s}^0=(c\bar{c}uds)^0$, $J^P=1/2^-$ pentaquark state that has recently been observed experimentally by the LHCb collaboration at 4338.2 MeV, with a width of 7.0 MeV and high…

The nature of the three pentaquark states, $P_{c}(4312)$, $P_{c}(4440)$ and $P_{c}(4457)$, discovered by the LHCb Collaboration in 2019, is still under debate, although the $\bar{D}^{(\ast)}\Sigma_{c}$ molecular interpretation seems to be…

We study the three-body systems $DNN$ and $D^{*}NN$ within a hadronic molecular framework by combining a realistic nucleon-nucleon interaction with a $D^{(*)}N$ potential constrained by heavy-quark symmetry. The three-body Schr\"odinger…

The number of exotic candidates which are beyond the conventional quark model has grown dramatically during the last decades. Some of them could be viewed as analogues of the deuteron. Similarly, the existence of the triton indicates that…

The three pentaquark states, $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$, discovered by the LHCb Collaboration in 2019, are widely recognized as $\bar{D}^{(\ast)}\Sigma_{c}$ hadronic molecules. Together with their four…

During the last decades, numerous exotic states which cannot be explained by the conventional quark model have been observed in experiment. Some of them can be understood as two-body hadronic molecules, such as the famous $X(3872)$,…

We study the hadronic molecular structure of hidden heavy pentaquarks - new exotic states composed of charmed/bottom baryons and $D(D^*)/B(B^*)$ mesons. Based on the observation of three pentaquark candidates $P_c^+(4312)$, $P_c^+(4440)$,…

In the past two decades, a plethora of hadronic states beyond the conventional quark model of $q\bar{q}$ mesons and $qqq$ baryons have been observed experimentally, which motivated extensive studies to understand their nature and the…

We perform a systematical investigation of the possible deuteron-like bound states with configuration $\Xi_{cc}N (\bar{N})$, where $N(\bar{N})$ denotes the nucleon (anti-nucleon), in the framework of the one-boson-exchange-potential model.…

Inspired by the newly observed $T_{cc}^+$ state, we systematically investigate the $S$-wave triple-charm molecular states composed of $D^*D^*D$ and $D^*D^*D^*$. We employ the one-boson-exchange model to derive the interactions between…
