| Nov 12 at 1:13 | comment | added | Jules Lamers | In integrable systems the 3-body case is tractable, but still very different from the (simple) 2-body case. In quantum-integrable systems, the 3-body case is related to the (quantum) Yang--Baxter equation. It is a gateway to the n-body case due to 'factorised scattering'. | |
