Anyonic bound states in the continuum
Communications Physics, 2023 Bound states in the continuum (BICs), which are spatially localized states with energies lying in the continuum of radiating modes, are discovered both in single- and few-body systems with suitably engineered spatial potentials and particle interactions.

Optical moiré bound states in the continuum
Nature CommunicationsTrapping electromagnetic waves within the radiation continuum holds significant implications in the field of optical science and technology. Photonic bound states in the continuum (BICs) present a distinctive approach for achieving this functionality ...

Bound States in the Continuum in Elasticity [PDF]
Wave Motion, 2021 Diffraction of elastic waves is considered for a system consisting of two parallel arrays of thin (subwavelength) cylinders that are arranged periodically. The embedding media supports waves with all polarizations, one longitudinal and two transverse, having different dispersion relations.

Floquet bound states in the continuum [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2013 AbstractQuantum mechanics predicts that certain stationary potentials can sustain bound states with an energy buried in the continuous spectrum of scattered states, the so-called bound states in the continuum (BIC). Originally regarded as mathematical curiosities, BIC have found an increasing interest in recent years, particularly in quantum and ...

Chiral bound states in the continuum [PDF]
Physical Review B, 2014 We present a distinct mechanism for the formation of bound states in the continuum (BICs). In chiral quantum systems there appear zero-energy states in which the wave function has finite amplitude only in one of the subsystems defined by the chiral symmetry.

Chiral Quasi-Bound States in the Continuum [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2021 Quasi-bound states in the continuum (q-BICs) are resonant states of suitably tailored nanostructures with long optical lifetimes controlled by symmetry-breaking perturbations. While in planarized ultrathin devices the resulting Fano resonance is limited to linear polarizations, we show here that chiral perturbations extend q-BIC concepts to arbitrary ...

Bound states in the continuum [PDF]
Nature Reviews Materials, 2016 Bound states in the continuum (BICs) are waves that remain localized even though they coexist with a continuous spectrum of radiating waves that can carry energy away. Their very existence defies conventional wisdom. Although BICs were first proposed in quantum mechanics, they are a general wave phenomenon and have since been identified in ...

Applications of bound states in the continuum in photonics
Nature Reviews Physics, 2023 Bound states in the continuum (BICs) have attracted attention in photonics owing to their interesting properties. For example, BICs can effectively confine light in a counter-intuitive way and the far-field radiation of photonic structures that exhibit BICs manifests fascinating topological characteristics.

Optomechanical crystal with bound states in the continuum
Nature Communications, 2022 AbstractChipscale micro- and nano-optomechanical systems, hinging on the intangible radiation-pressure force, have shown their unique strength in sensing, signal transduction, and exploration of quantum physics with mechanical resonators. Optomechanical crystals, as one of the leading device platforms, enable simultaneous molding of the band structure ...
