Aims & Scope

Few-Body Systems is a single-blind peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for original research work – experimental, theoretical or computational – investigating the behavior of any classical or quantum system consisting of a small number of well-defined constituent structures. The focus is on the research methods, properties, and results characteristic of few-body systems. The journal also publishes research work in the form of letters, rapid communications, comments, reviews or progress reports. The range of topics is extensive: Few-quark states, light nuclear and hadronic systems Few-electron atomic systems and small molecules Specific systems in condensed matter and surface physics (such as quantum dots and highly correlated trapped systems) Large-scale systems such as celestial structures Interdisciplinary contributions that foster common approaches and insights, introduce and benchmark the use of novel tools (e.g. machine learning) and develop relevant applications (e.g. few-body aspects in quantum technologies).
