Universal Tetramer States

Caption

This is an extended Efimov scenario describing a universal system of four identical bosons -- energies are plotted as a function of the inverse scattering length. The red solid lines illustrate the pairs of universal tetramer states associated with each Efimov trimer. In the four-body pictures, the Efimov trimers give rises to an infinite sequence of trimer-atom thresholds (green dotted lines).
