We developed a new algebraic method to find eigenvalue crossings in physical systems by mapping them to polynomial roots. This technique aids in identifying Feshbach resonances in atoms and molecules within magnetic fields.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Atomic and molecular physics
  • Spectroscopy

Background:

  • Eigenvalue crossings are crucial in understanding physical systems under external parameter variations.
  • Identifying these crossings is essential for phenomena like Feshbach resonances and molecular spectroscopy.
  • Current methods can be computationally intensive or require detailed potential energy surfaces.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel algebraic method for efficiently detecting eigenvalue crossings.
  • To demonstrate the method's applicability to atomic and molecular systems in magnetic fields.
  • To uncover new insights into the Breit-Rabi Hamiltonian and molecular potential curves.

Main Methods:

  • Mapping the problem of finding eigenvalue crossings to finding roots of a polynomial in the external parameter.
