A one-dimensional system of bosons interacting with contact and single-Gaussian forces is studied with an expansion in hyperspherical harmonics. The hyperradial potentials are calculated using the link between the hyperspherical harmonics and the single-particle harmonic-oscillator basis while the coupled hyperradial equations are solved with the Lagrange-mesh method. Extensions of this method are proposed to achieve good convergence with small numbers of mesh points for any truncation of hypermomentum. The convergence with hypermomentum strongly depends on the range of the two-body forces: it is very good for large ranges but deteriorates as the range decreases, being the worst for the contact interaction. In all cases, the lowest-order energy is within 4.5 $\%$ of the exact solution and shows the correct cubic asymptotic behaviour at large boson numbers. Details of the convergence studies are presented for 3, 5, 20 and 100 bosons. A special treatment for three bosons was found to be necessary. For single-Gaussian interactions, the convergence rate improves with increasing boson number, similar to what happens in the case of three-dimensional systems of bosons.A one-dimensional system of bosons interacting with contact and single-Gaussian forces is studied with an expansion in hyperspherical harmonics.

Correlated Gaussian hyperspherical method for few-body systems

Javier von Stecher, Chris H. Greene

We develop a numerical technique to describe few-body systems. Correlated Gaussian basis functions are used to expand the channel functions in the hyperspherical representation. The method is proven to be robust and efficient compared to other numerical techniques. The method is applied to few-body systems with short-range interactions, including several examples for three- and four-body systems. Specifically, for the two-component, four-fermion system, we extract the coefficients that characterize its behavior at unitarity.We develop a numerical technique to describe few-body systems.
