Since their discovery in 2003, the open charm states $D_{s0}^*(2317)$ and $D_{s1}(2460)$ provide a challenge to the conventional quark model. In recent years, theoretical evidence has been accumulated for both states in favor of a…

${\bf Background:}$ Weakly bound and unbound nuclear states appearing around particle thresholds are prototypical open quantum systems. Theories of such states must take into account configuration mixing effects in the presence of strong…

The recent discovery of the doubly charmed tetraquark $T_{cc}$ ($\bar{u}\bar{d}cc$) provides a stringent constraint on its binding energy relative to its lowest decay threshold. We use a fully convergent spatial wave function and perform a…

The mass, current coupling, and width of the doubly charmed four-quark meson $T_{cc}^{+}$ are explored by treating it as a hadronic molecule $ M_{cc}^{+}\equiv D^{0}D^{\ast +}$. The mass and current coupling of this molecule are calculated…

A central question in exotic-hadron physics is their internal structure whether these states are loosely bound hadronic molecules or compact multiquark configurations. To shed light on this issue, we develop a model that incorporates mixing…

We study the $Z_{cs}(3985)$ state recently observed by the BESIII Collaboration in the one-boson-exchange model, assuming that it is a $\bar{D}_s^{(*)}D^{(*)}$ molecule, which has the quark content $c\bar{c}s\bar{q}$ with $q = u$, $d$. It…

In this work, we study the strong decay of the newly observed $P_{cs}(4459)$ assuming that it is a pure $\Xi_c\bar{D}^{*}$ molecular state. Considering two possible spin-parity assignments $J^P=1/2^{-}$ and $J^P=3/2^{-}$ the partial decay…

With a quark level interaction, we give a unified description of the loosely bound molecular systems composed of the heavy flavor hadrons $(\bar{D},\bar{D}^*)$, $(\Lambda_c, \Sigma_c, \Sigma_c^*)$, and $(\Xi_c, \Xi_c^\prime,\Xi_c^*)$. Using…

Understanding near-threshold strong interactions is essential for disentangling hadronic molecules and compact multiquark states in heavy-flavor spectroscopy. In this context, the doubly charmed tetraquark candidate $T_{cc}(3875)^+$ serves…

In this work, we analyze the strong vertices of hadronic molecules $DK$, $D^*K$, $DK^*$ and their bottom analogs within the framework of three-point QCD sum rules. The coupling between interpolating currents and low spin particles is…

After discussing the various possible interpretations of the Y(4143) signal observed by the CDF collaboration in the $J/\psi \phi$ mode, we tend to conclude that Y(4143) is probably a $D_s^\ast {\bar D}_s^\ast$ molecular state with…

In this work, we first perform a systematic study of the transition magnetic moments and the corresponding radiative decay behaviors of the $B_c$-like molecular states associated with their mass spectra, where the constituent quark model is…

Very recently, the LHCb collaboration has observed in the final state $\Lambda_c^+ K^-\pi^+\pi^+$ a resonant structure that is identified as the doubly-charmed baryon $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$. Inspired by this observation, we investigate the weak…

The doubly charmed tetraquark $T^+_{cc}$ recently discovered by the LHCb Collaboration is studied on the basis of $(2+1)$-flavor lattice QCD simulations of the $D^*D$ system with nearly physical pion mass $m_\pi=146$ MeV. The interaction of…

Inspired by the experimental discoveries of $T_{cc}$, $\Sigma_c(2800)$, and $\Lambda_c(2940)$ and the theoretical picture where they are $DD^*$, $DN$, and $D^*N$ molecular candidates, we investigate the double charm heptaquark system of…

We relate the interactions of the $\bar{D}^{(\ast)} K^\ast$ and $D^{(\ast)} K^\ast$ systems to those of $D^{(\ast)}D^{(\ast)}$ and $D^{(\ast)}\bar{D}^{(\ast)}$ respectively, considering the residual strong interactions at the near-threshold…

The exotic state $X(5568)$ which was observed by D0 Collaboration is very likely to be a tetraquark state with four different valence quark flavors, though the existence was not confirmed by other collaborations. The possibility of such…

Energy spectrum of doubly heavy tetraquarks, $T_{QQ}$ ($QQ \bar{q} \bar{q}$ with $Q = c, b$ and $q = u, d, s$), is studied in the potential chiral-diquark model. Using the chiral effective theory of diquarks and the quark-diquark-based…
