Description
I describe a lattice study of up to N=20 unitary fermions confined to a harmonic trap. Our results show excellent agreement (within 1%) with high precision solutions to the many-body Schrodinger equation for up to N=8. We are also able to make predictions for larger N which were inaccessible by the Hamiltonian approach due to computational limitations. Harmonic traps are used experimentally to study cold atoms tuned to a Feshbach resonance. We show that they also provide certain benefits to numerical studies of many-body correlators on the lattice. In particular, we anticipate that the methods described here could be used for studying nuclear physics.
