Recently, it has been shown that energy can be deposited on a collection of quantum systems at a rate that scales super-extensively. Some of these schemes for `quantum batteries' rely on the use of global many-body interactions that take…
We investigate in a simple model whether a Jastrow-based approach for a many-body system containing two-body interactions can be exact. By comparison with recent assertions to the contrary, we find that in general the exact wave function is…

We demonstrate that a four-boson limit-cycle independent of the Efimov one appears in Hamiltonian systems at the unitary limit. The model interaction contains two-, three- and four-body short-range potentials, which disentangle the…
Starting from general expressions of well-chosen symmetric nuclear matter quantities derived for both zero- and finite-range effective theories, we derive the contributions to the effective mass. We first show that, independently of the…
Three-body forces, a type of non-perturbative strong interaction, are widely studied in nuclear physics. However, whether their inclusion is necessary in nuclear systems remains a topic of intense debate. In this letter, we propose that the…
In one spatial dimension, quantum systems with an attractive three-body contact interaction exhibit a scale anomaly. In this work, we examine the few-body sector for up to six particles. We study those systems with a self-consistent,…
