We study charged particles in three dimensions interacting via a short-range potential in addition to the Coulomb potential. When the Bohr radius and the scattering length are much larger than the potential range, low-energy physics of the…
In this paper we study the number of bound states for potentials in one and two spatial dimensions. We first show that in addition to the well-known fact that an arbitrarily weak attractive potential has a bound state, it is easy to…
Strongly interacting systems appear in several areas of physics and are characterized by attractive interactions that can almost, or just barely, loosely bind two particles. Although this definition is made at the two-body level, this gives…
The omnipresent disorder in physical systems makes it imperative to investigate its effect on the spatial range of interactions for which system remains thermodynamically extensive. Previously known bounds on the statistical free energy for…

On a lattice, as the momentum space is compact, the kinetic energy is bounded not only from below but also from above. It is shown that this, somehow removes the distinction between repulsive and attractive forces. In particular, it is seen…

The problem of separation of variables in some coordinate systems obtained with the use of $L$-transformations is studied. Potentials are shown that allow separation of regular variables in a perturbed two-body problem. The potential…
In contrast to the well-known solution of the two-body problem through the use of the concept of reduced mass, a solution is proposed involving separation of potentials. It is shown that each of the two point bodies moves in its own…
We carry out a model study on two-atom interactions and bound states in quasi-two dimensional traps. The interactions are modeled by two-parameter potentials with parameters being the range $r_0$ and the $s$-wave scattering length $a_s$. We…
The long time behavior of scattered wave packets $\psi (x,t)$ from a finite-range potential is investigated, by assuming $\psi (x,t)$ to be initially located outside the potential. It is then shown that $\psi (x,t)$ can asymptotically…
We study few-body bound states of charged particles subject to attractive zero-range/short-range plus repulsive Coulomb interparticle forces. The characteristic length scales of the system at zero energy are set by the Coulomb length scale…
We study the properties of two quantum particles which are confined in a ring. The particles interact via a long-range gauge potential proportional to the distance between the particles. It is found that the two-body ground state…
