We introduce a new fundamental property of waveguides induced by the forces of the guided light, namely, the ability to self align or be in instability. A nanoscale waveguide broken by an offset and a gap may tend to self align to form a…
For mathematical models of quantum wave guides we show that in some situations two interacting particles can be trapped more easily than a single particle. In particular, we give an example of a wave guide that can not bind a single…

The motion of a quantum particle in a one-dimensional periodic potential can be described in terms of Bloch wave packets. Like free-particle wave packets, they can propagate without attenuation. Here, we examine this similarity more closely…
