Charge transport through a nanoscale junction coupled to two macroscopic electrodes is investigated for the situation when bound states are present. We provide numerical evidence that bound states give rise to persistent, non-decaying…

Bosons in one dimension display a phenomenon called quasi-condensation, where correlations decay in a powerlaw fashion. We study the fate of quasi-condensation in the non-equilibrium steady-state of a chain of hard-core bosons coupled to…

Bound states in the continuum (BICs) are spatially localized eigenmodes that remain perfectly confined even though their energies reside within a continuum of radiating modes. BICs were predicted in 1929, but their experimental realization…

Non-Hermitian systems enable advanced control of wave propagation by exploiting engineered losses. This introduces an additional degree of freedom that permits the emergence of exceptional points (EPs). In this letter, we theoretically and…

We have designed and operated a superconducting tunnel junction circuit that behaves as a two-level atom: the ``quantronium''. An arbitrary evolution of its quantum state can be programmed with a series of microwave pulses, and a projective…

We present an {\it exact} quantum theory for the bound states in the vicinity of an edge or a line of impurities in a $d_{x^2-y^2}$ superconductor. For a (110)-surface we show that a finite dispersion of the one dimensional band of bound…

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…
