• Abstract: Many-particle systems pose commonly known computational challenges in quantum theory. The obstacles arise from the difficulty in finding sets of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the underlying Hamiltonian while enforcing fermion or boson statistics, not to mention the prohibitive increase in the computational cost with the system's size. The first obvious step in this direction is to elaborate the theory for Fermi or Bose gases without inter-particle interactions. The traditional approach to the work is with the ideal gases confined in a cubic container with impenetrable walls (in arbitrary dimensions). This approach allows one to find the particle's spectra and compute all thermodynamic quantities of the confined gas. In the present work, we consider the gas confined in a spherical container (in other words, an infinitely deep spherical potential well in D dimensions), solving the corresponding Schroedinger equation using zero boundary conditions. We address the case of a finite number of particles N, either bosons or fermions, in the spherical potential box, as well as the thermodynamic limit. Owing to Weyl's relations, in the latter limit, the results do not depend on the shape of the box and thus approach the commonly known ones valid in the infinite space. Owing to the underlying SO(D) symmetry, we are dealing with particles carrying a well-defined angular momentum that, together with sorted energy eigenvalues, imparts a shell structure to the system.

  We write the exact solution of the Klein-Gordon equation in the background of a chargeless, static black string. The eigenvalue problem provides complex energy values for the particle, which may indicate the presence of quasinormal modes. We show a simple quantum system that can imitate the particle in the black string background, whose solutions are also applications of the biconfluent Heun function.

  We report direct evidence for bosonization in a SU($N$) fermionic ytterbium gas with tunable $N$ in three dimensions (3D) We find that the contact per spin approaches a constant with a 1/$N$ scaling in the low fugacity regime consistent with our theoretical prediction. Our work delivers a highly controllable quantum simulator to exchange the bosonic and fermionic statistics through tuning the internal degrees of freedom in any generic dimensions.
