    We present previous work in atomic and nuclear physics, with a focus on five-body recombination of identical bosons and on bound and resonant states in helium isotopes within the framework of the adiabatic hyperspherical representation. We review studies of the few-body helium systems $^4$He+2n, $^4$He+3n, and $^4$He+4n, where calculations are performed to characterize bound states,...

    First-principles (or ab initio) methods that solve the quantum many-nucleon problem with controlled approximations based on validated chiral nucleon-nucleon and three-nucleon forces are currently the best path to achieving a predictive theory of nuclear structure, low-energy scattering and reactions between nuclei. Among them, the ab initio no-core shell model with continuum (NCSMC) [1,2],...

    The comparison of bound-state energy spectra of hydrogen and antihydrogen constitutes a stringent test of fundamental symmetry such as Lorentz and CPT invariance [1]. The availability of excitable transitions in combination with frequency metrology can be harnessed for precision measurements of energy intervals in both matter and antimatter species. The precisely determined energy spectra and...

    The optical potential is a well-known and successful tool that is widely used to describe nucleon-nucleus scattering processes.

    Simulating quantum systems in a finite volume is a powerful theoretical tool for extracting information about them.

    Bound states in the continuum (BICs) [1] are remarkable quantum states characterized by the absence of linewidth broadenings, and therefore exhibiting giant nonradiative lifetimes. The existence of bound states embedded in the continuum was first suggested by von Neumann and Wigner in the context of an open quantum system formed by a rapidly oscillating potential [2]. One century later, BICs...

    Femtoscopic measurements from heavy-ion collisions have become a popular tool to investigate the strong interactions between hadrons.

    Chiral effective field theory is a well-known tool for the description of nuclear physics in the low-energy sector.

    Low-energy collisions involving electrons, positrons, positronium (Ps) and atomic hydrogen can be strongly affected by laser fields of a moderate intensity.

    The $K^{-}pp$, a three-body system combining Coulomb and strong interactions, poses experimental and theoretical challenges. The theoretical problem is that these interactions operate on vastly different length scales, and the $K^{-}p$ Coulomb interaction supports infinitely many bound states.
