contents Simulations of quantum systems in finite volume have proven to be a useful tool for calculating physical observables. Such studies to date have focused primarily on understanding the volume dependence of binding energies, from which it is possible to extract asymptotic properties of the corresponding bound state, as well as on extracting scattering information. For bound states, all properties depend on the size of the finite volume, and for precision studies it is important to understand such effects. In this work, we therefore derive the volume dependence of the mean squared radius of a two-body bound state, using a technique that can be generalized to other static properties in the future. We test our results with explicit numerical examples and demonstrate that we can robustly extract infinite-volume radii from finite-volume simulations in cubic boxes with periodic boundary conditions.
