contents Nucleon-nucleon systems in the $^3S_1$ and the $^1S_0$ channels are studied in lattice quantum chromodynamics at a pion mass of approximately $m_π\approx292$ MeV, employing three $N_f = 2+1$ ensembles with the same pion mass and lattice spacing $a=0.10530(18)$ fm but different spatial volumes. Finite-volume energies of the nucleon-nucleon systems are determined in both the rest frame and a moving frame. The distillation quark smearing method is applied to improve the precision and to ensure the symmetric correlators by using the same interpolating operators at sink and source. The scattering amplitudes are extracted from the finite-volume spectra using the Lüscher's finite-volume method. At the studied pion mass, both the $^3S_1$ (deuteron) and $^1S_0$(di-neutron) channels exhibit a virtual state pole, with binding energies of $6^{+5}_{-3}$ MeV and $11^{+6}_{-5}$ MeV, respectively. To investigate the effects of the left-hand cut, an alternative method -- the Non-Perturbative Hamiltonian framework (NPHF) -- is used for the scattering analysis and yields consistent results with those from the Lüscher method.
