We give a rigorous argument that long--range repulsion stabilizes quantum systems; ground states of such quantum systems exist even when the ground state energy is precisely at the ionization threshold. For atomic systems at the critical…

Bound states in the continuum (BICs) are quantum states that remain localized despite existing within a continuum of extended, delocalized states. They defy conventional wave theories and could be instrumental for quantum technologies that…

Transition states or quantum states of zero energy appear at the boundary between the discrete part of the spectrum of negative energies and the continuum part of positive energy states. As such, transition states can be regarded as a…
