Spectroscopy for a Few Atoms Harmonically-Trapped in One Dimension

Spectroscopic labels for a few particles with spin that are harmonically trapped in one-dimension with effectively zero-range interactions are provided by quantum numbers that characterize the symmetries of the Hamiltonian: permutations of identical particles, parity inversion, and the separability of the center-of-mass. The exact solutions for the non-interacting and infinitely repulsive cases are reduced with respect to these symmetries. This reduction explains how states of single-component and multi-component fermions and bosons transform under adiabatic evolution from non-interacting to strong hard-core repulsion. These spectroscopic methods also clarify previous analytic and numerical results for intermediate values of interaction strength. Several examples, including adiabatic mapping for two-component fermionic states in the cases $N=3-5$, are provided.
