The spectrum of a one-dimensional pseudospin-one Hamiltonian with a three-component potential is studied for two configurations: (i) all the potential components are constants over the whole coordinate space and (ii) the profile of some…
Atomic-scale helices exist as motifs for several material lattices. We examine a tight-binding model for a single one-dimensional monatomic chain with a p-orbital basis coiled into a helix. A topologically nontrivial phase emerging from…
We show that quantum systems of extended objects naturally give rise to a large class of exotic phases - namely topological phases. These phases occur when the extended objects, called ``string-nets'', become highly fluctuating and…
A systematic method of analysing Bethe-Salpeter equation using spectral representation for the relativistic bound state wave function is given. This has been explicitly applied in the context of perturbative QCD with string tension in the…
We prove the conjectured classification of topological phases in two spatial dimensions with gappable boundary, in a simplified setting. Two gapped ground states of lattice Hamiltonians are in the same quantum phase of matter, or…
We adapt the bialgebra and Hopf relations to expose internal structure in the ground state of a Hamiltonian with $Z_2$ topological order. Its tensor network description allows for exact contraction through simple diagrammatic rewrite rules.…
At the lower edge of the energy continuum the birth of an isolated quantum bound state is studied as caused by an infinitesimally small change of the interaction. In our model a single, asymptotically free massive quantum particle is…
We use the Bethe Ansatz solution for the one dimensional Hubbard model with open boundary conditions and applied boundary fields to study the spectrum of bound states at the boundary. Depending on the strength of the boundary potentials one…
We provide a model of a one dimensional quantum network, in the framework of a lattice using Von Neumann and Wigner's idea of bound states in a continuum. The localized states acting as qubits are created by a controlled deformation of a…
Relationships between the coupling constant and the binding energy of threshold bound states are obtained in a simple manner from an iterative algorithm for solving the eigenvalue problem. The absence of threshold bound states in higher…
We consider a class of one-dimensional quantum spin systems on the finite lattice $\Lambda\subset\mathbb{Z}$, related to the XXZ spin chain in its Ising phase. It includes in particular the so-called droplet Hamiltonian. The entanglement…
One-dimensional tight-binding lattice, single site of which possesses harmonically vibrating level is studied. The states of non-interacting electrons incident with fixed energy from infinity are considered. It is shown that at definite…
In this letter, we report our systematic construction of the lattice Hamiltonian model of topological orders on open surfaces, with explicit boundary terms. We do this mainly for the Levin-Wen stringnet model. The full Hamiltonian in our…
The signature of bound state formation on the lattice is of particular interest in this talk. In the finite volume, where all states have discrete energies, it is rather hard to distinguish between a bound state and a scattering state if…
We develop a continuum theory to model low energy excitations of a generic four-band time reversal invariant electronic system with boundaries. We propose a variational energy functional for the wavefunctions which allows us derive natural…
We study, via numerical experiments, the role of bound states in the evolution of cosmic superstring networks, being composed by p F-strings, q D-strings and (p,q) bound states. We find robust evidence for scaling of all three components of…
We predict topologically robust zero energy bulk states in a disordered tight binding lattice. We explore a new kind of order and discuss that zero energy states exist in a system iff its Hamiltonian is noninvertible. We show that they are…
We study the exact solution of the two-body problem on a tight-binding one-dimensional lattice, with pairwise interaction potentials which have an arbitrary but finite range. We show how to obtain the full spectrum, the bound and scattering…
In this work, we investigate the bound state problem in one dimensional spin-1 Dirac Hamiltonian with a flat band. It is found that, the flat band has significant effects on the bound states. For example, for Dirac delta potential…
The existence of bound states in quantum mechanics with no classical counterpart has been a subject of interest for a long time. Cross-wires and cavities connected to infinite leads are typical examples in which open geometries with bulges…
