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…
Bound state in the continuum (BIC) and quasi-BIC represent a remarkable class of wave functions that disobey conventional intuition by exhibiting spatially localized modes embedded in the continuum spectrum. In recent years, these states…

Photonic bound states in the continuum are spatially localised modes with infinitely long lifetimes that exist within a radiation continuum at discrete energy levels. These states have been explored in various systems where their emergence…

Bound states are dissipation-resilient states that may emerge when quantum systems are strongly coupled to reservoirs with band gaps. We analyze an exactly solvable bosonic model for bound state existence and reproduce these results by a…
An oscillating bound state is a phenomenon where excitations mediated by the continuum modes oscillate persistently. Although it is generated by the superposition of two bound states in the continuum (BICs), such phenomenon is said to be…

Bound states in the continuum (BICs) in photonic crystal slabs represent the resonances with an infinite quality(Q)-factor, occurring above the light line for an infinitely periodic structure. We show that a set of BICs can turn into…
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…
We show that quasi-bound electron states are formed in a quantum wire as a result of electron backscattering in the transition regions between the wire and the electron reservoirs, to which the wire is coupled. The backscattering mechanism…
