Abstract
The theoretical study of ultracold few-body systems is often done using an idealized 1D model with zero range interactions. Here we study these systems using a more realistic 3D model with finite range interactions. We place three-particles, two identical and one impurity, in an axial symmetric harmonic trap and solve the corresponding stationary Schr\"odinger equation using the correlated Gaussian method for different particle types, aspect ratios and interactions strength. We show that the idealized model is accurate for small and intermediate strength interactions at aspect ratios larger than four, independently of the particle types. In the strongly interacting limit, the idealized model is acceptable for bosonic systems, but not for fermionic systems even at large aspect ratios.
