Few-fermion systems in one dimension: Ground- and excited-state energies and contacts

Abstract

Using the lattice Monte Carlo method, we compute the energy and Tan's contact in the ground state as well as the first excited state of few- to many-fermion systems in a one-dimensional periodic box. We focus on unpolarized systems of N=4,6,...,12 particles, with a zero-range interaction, and a wide range of attractive couplings. In addition, we provide extrapolations to the infinite-volume and thermodynamic limits.
