Three interacting atoms in a one-dimensional trap: A benchmark system for computational approaches

Abstract

We provide an accurate calculation of the energy spectrum of three atoms interacting through a contact force in a one-dimensional harmonic trap, considering both spinful fermions and spinless bosons. We use fermionic energies as a benchmark for exact-diagonalization technique (also known as full configuration interaction), which is found to slowly converge in the case of strong interatomic attraction.
