arXiv:quant-ph/0411014 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.70.062112

Abstract

In the context of non-relativistic quantum mechanics, we obtain several upper and lower limits on the mean square radius applicable to systems composed by two-body bound by a central potential. A lower limit on the mean square radius is used to obtain a simple criteria for the occurrence of S-wave quantum halo sates.
