Configuration interaction approach to the few-body problem in a two-dimensional harmonic trap with contact interaction

Massimo Rontani, Sarah Reimann

The configuration interaction (CI) method for calculating the exact eigenstates of a quantum-mechanical few-body system is problematic when applied to contact interactions between the particles. In two and three dimensions, the approach fails due to the pathology of the Dirac delta-potential, making it impossible to reach convergence by gradually increasing the size of the Hilbert space. However, for practical applications this problem may be cured in a rather simple manner, by renormalizing the STRENGTH of the contact potential, which must be diagonalized in a TRUNCATED Hilbert space. The procedure relies on the comparison of CI energies and wave functions with those obtained by the exact solution of the two-body Schrodinger equation for the regularized contact interaction. The rather simple scheme, while keeping the numerical procedures still elementary, nevertheless provides both cut-off-independent few-body physical observables and an estimate of the error of the CI calculation.

On the renormalization of contact interactions for the configuration-interaction method in two-dimensions

Abstract The configuration interaction (CI) method for calculating the exact eigenstates of a quantum-mechanical few-body system is problematic when applied to particles interacting through contact forces. In dimensions higher than one the approach fails due to the pathology of the Dirac δ -potential, making it impossible to reach convergence by gradually increasing the size of the Hilbert space. However, this problem may be cured in a rather simple manner by renormalizing the strength of the contact potential when diagonalizing in a truncated Hilbert space. One hereby relies on the comparison of the CI results to the two-body ground-state energy obtained by the exact solution of the Schrödinger equation for a regularized contact interaction. We discuss here a scheme that provides cutoff-independent few-body physical observables. The method is applied to a few-body system of ultracold atoms confined by a two-dimensional harmonic oscillator.
