In this paper we present in greater detail previous work on the Born-Oppenheimer approximation to treat the hydrogen bond of QCD, and add a similar treatment of doubly heavy baryons. Doubly heavy exotic resonances X and Z can be described as color molecules of two-quark lumps, the analogue of the H_2 molecule, and doubly heavy baryons as the analog of the H_2^+ ion, except that the two heavy quarks attract each other. We compare our results with constituent quark model and lattice QCD calculations and find further evidence in support of this upgraded picture of compact tetraquarks and baryons.

We outline the most important results regarding the stability of doubly heavy tetraquarks $QQbar qbar q$ with an adequate treatment of the four-body dynamics. We consider both color-mixing and spin-dependent effects. Our results are straightforwardly applied to the case of all-heavy tetraquarks $QQbar Qbar Q$. We conclude that the stability is favored in the limit $M_Q/m_q gg 1$ pointing to the stability of the $bbbar ubar d$ state and the instability of all-heavy tetraquarks.
Alerted by the recent LHCb discovery of exotic hadrons in the range (6.2 -- 6.9) GeV, we present new results for the doubly-hidden scalar heavy $(bar QQ) (Qbar Q)$ charm and beauty molecules using the inverse Laplace transform sum rule (LSR) within stability criteria and including the Next-to-Leading Order (NLO) factorized perturbative and $langle G^3rangle$ gluon condensate corrections. We also critically revisit and improve existing Lowest Order (LO) QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR) estimates of the $({ bar Q bar Q})(QQ)$ tetraquarks analogous states. In the example of the anti-scalar-scalar molecule, we separate explicitly the contributions of the factorized and non-factorized contributions to LO of perturbative QCD and to the $langlealpha_sG^2rangle$ gluon condensate contributions in order to disprove some criticisms on the (mis)uses of the sum rules for four-quark currents. We also re-emphasize the importance to include PT radiative corrections for heavy quark sum rules in order to justify the (ad hoc) definition and value of the heavy quark mass used frequently at LO in the literature. Our LSR results for tetraquark masses summarized in Table II are compared with the ones from ratio of moments (MOM) at NLO and results from LSR and ratios of MOM at LO (Table IV). The LHCb broad structure around (6.2 --6.7) GeV can be described by the $overline{eta}_{c}{eta}_{c}$, $overline{J/psi}{J/psi}$ and $overline{chi}_{c1}{chi}_{c1}$ molecules or/and their analogue tetraquark scalar-scalar, axial-axial and vector-vector lowest mass ground states. The peak at (6.8--6.9) GeV can be likely due to a $overline{chi}_{c0}{chi}_{c0}$ molecule or/and a pseudoscalar-pseudoscalar tetraquark state. Similar analysis is done for the scalar beauty states whose masses are found to be above the $overlineeta_beta_b$ and $overlineUpsilon(1S)Upsilon(1S)$ thresholds.
Using the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, we show that exotic resonances, X and Z, may emerge as QCD molecular objects made of colored two-quark lumps, states with heavy-light diquarks spatially separated from antidiquarks. With the same method we confirm that doubly heavy tetraquarks are stable against strong decays. Tetraquarks described here provide a new picture of exotic hadrons, as formed by the QCD analog of the hydrogen bond of molecular physics.
Using an extended chromomagnetic model, we perform a systematic study of the masses of the doubly heavy tetraquarks. We find that the ground states of the doubly heavy tetraquarks are dominated by color-triplet $ket{(qq)^{bar{3}_{c}}(bar{Q}bar{Q})^{3_{c}}}$ configuration, which is opposite to that of the fully heavy tetraquarks. The combined results suggest that the color-triplet configuration becomes more important when the mass difference between the quarks and antiquarks increases. We find three stable states which lie below the thresholds of two pseudoscalar mesons. They are the $IJ^{P}=01^{+}$ $nnbar{b}bar{b}$ tetraquark, the $IJ^{P}=00^{+}$ $nnbar{c}bar{b}$ tetraquark and the $J^{P}=1^{+}$ $nsbar{b}bar{b}$ tetraquark.
The masses of baryons containing two heavy quarks and their couplings to the corresponding quark currents are evaluated in the framework of NRQCD sum rules. The coulomb-like corrections in the system of doubly heavy diquark are taken into account, and the contribution of nonperturbative terms coming from the quark, gluon and mixed condensates as well as the product of quark and gluon condensates, is analyzed. The higher condensates destroy the factorization of baryon and diquark correlators and provide the convergency of sum rule method. As a result the accuracy of estimates is improved.
