Efimov State

Efimov State

Efimov State is a quantum mechanical stable bound state of three particles, with any two particle subsystem is unstable. This unusual state has infinite number of energy levels. It was proposed by Vitaly Efimov in 1970 theoretically [ [http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0370-2693(70)90349-7 Energy levels arising from resonant two-body forces in a three-body system] , V. Efimov, Physics Letters B, Volume 33, Issue 8 , 21 December 1970, Pages 563-564] . In 2006, a group of experimental physicists claimed to observe such a state in ultracold gas of caesium atoms [ [http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nature04626 Evidence for Efimov quantum states in an ultracold gas of caesium atoms] , T. Kraemer et al., Nature 440, 315-318 (16 March 2006)] .
