Coulomb corrections to two-particle interaction in artificial traps

Abstract

In present work, we discuss the effect of Coulomb interaction to the dynamics of two-particle system bound in various traps. The strategy of including Coulomb interaction into the quantization condition of trapped system is discussed in a general and non-perturbative manner. In most cases, Coulomb corrections to quantization condition largely rely on numerical approach or perturbation expansion. Only for some special cases, such as the spherical hard wall trap, a closed-form of quantization condition with all orders of Coulomb corrections can be obtained.
