Recurrent themes from quantum dots to quarks

James P. Vary

Iowa State University

Mesons, baryons, nuclei, atoms, molecules, quantum dots and other intensively investigated systems have common physical foundations. These systems have a fixed number of fermion constituents, from two to a few hundred fermions. Strong correlations due to the Pauli exclusion principle and to the interactions place extreme challenges on theoretical frameworks. I will present some recent approaches to these problems with illustrative applications - including exact solutions in certain cases. I will also demonstrate animations that might be helpful in overcoming some pedagogical challenges.
