Abstract  In atomic, molecular, and nuclear physics, the method of complex coordinate rotation is a widely used theoretical tool for studying resonant states. Here, we propose a novel implementation of this method based on the gradient optimization (CCR-GO). The main strength of the CCR-GO method is that it does not require manual adjustment of optimization parameters in the wave function; instead, a mathematically well-defined optimization path can be followed. Our method is proven to be very efficient in searching resonant positions and widths over a variety of few-body atomic systems, and can significantly improve the accuracy of the results. As a special case, the CCR-GO method is equally capable of dealing with bound-state problems with high accuracy, which is traditionally achieved through the usual extreme conditions of energy itself.
