AI Article Synopsis

  • The study computes potential energy curves and one-electron properties for various anions near their unbound states using EOM-EA-CCSD and EOM-EA-CCSDT methods.
  • It compares anions from HCl and pyrrole (s-wave scattering) with H and N (resonances), revealing significant bending effects in the potential energy curves for the former when diffuse basis functions are included.
  • The results indicate that traditional electronic-structure methods can effectively differentiate between anions that evolve into electronic resonances versus those related to s-wave scattering states.

Article Abstract

We compute EOM-EA-CCSD and EOM-EA-CCSDT potential energy curves and one-electron properties of several anions at bond lengths close to where these states become unbound. We compare the anions of HCl and pyrrole, which are associated with s-wave scattering, with N and H, which correspond to resonances. For HCl and pyrrole, we observe, on inclusion of diffuse basis functions, a pronounced bending effect in the anionic potential energy curves near the crossing points with their corresponding neutral molecules. Additionally, we observe that the Dyson orbital and second moment of the electron density become extremely large in this region; for HCl, the size of the latter becomes 5 orders of magnitude larger over a range of 5 pm. This behaviour is not observed in H or N. Our work thus shows that bound state electronic-structure methods can distinguish between anions that turn into electronic resonances and those associated with s-wave scattering states.

Hydrodynamic Attractor in Ultracold Atoms.

Phys Rev Lett

Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Heidelberg, Philosophenweg 19, 69120 Heidelberg, Germany.

Article Synopsis
  • The hydrodynamic attractor concept explains how systems lose small-scale details before they can be described by hydrodynamics.
  • The study proposes a method to observe these attractors in ultracold atomic gases by manipulating the scattering length, simulating isotropic fluid behavior.
  • By examining two-component fermions in three dimensions, the researchers derive a hydrodynamic relaxation model and identify the corresponding attractor solution, making their approach relevant for various ultracold atomic systems.

We provide the superconducting density of states of the pnictide superconductor LaRuP(= 4.1 K), measured using millikelvin scanning tunneling microscopy. From the tunneling conductance, we extract a density of states which shows the opening of a s-wave single superconducting gap.

We observe strong dynamical suppression of optically induced loss in a weakly interacting Fermi gas as the s-wave scattering length is increased. A single trapped cigar-shaped cloud behaves as a large spin lattice in energy space with a tunable Heisenberg Hamiltonian. The loss suppression occurs as the lattice transitions into a magnetized state, where the fermionic nature of the atoms inhibits interactions.

Scalar and Tensor Charmonium Resonances in Coupled-Channel Scattering from Lattice QCD.

Phys Rev Lett

June 2024

Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, 12000 Jefferson Avenue, Newport News, Virginia 23606, USA.

We determine J^{PC}=0^{++} and 2^{++} hadron-hadron scattering amplitudes in the charmonium energy region up to 4100 MeV using lattice QCD, a first-principles approach to QCD. Working at m_{π}≈391  MeV, more than 200 finite-volume energy levels are computed and these are used in extensions of the Lüscher formalism to determine infinite-volume coupled-channel scattering amplitudes. We find that this energy region contains a single χ_{c0} and a single χ_{c2} resonance.

We report a lattice QCD study of the heavy-light meson-meson interactions with an explicitly exotic flavor content bcu[over ¯]d[over ¯], isospin I=0, and axial-vector J^{P}=1^{+} quantum numbers in search of possible tetraquark bound states. The calculation is performed at four values of lattice spacing, ranging from ∼0.058 to ∼0.
