The accurate computation of low-energy spectra of strongly correlated quantum many-body systems, typically accessed via Green's-functions, is a long-standing problem posing enormous challenges to numerical methods. When the spectral…
We argue that many features of the structure of nuclei emerge from a strictly perturbative expansion around the unitarity limit, where the two-nucleon S waves have bound states at zero energy. In this limit, the gross features of states in…
