On periodic structures, a bound state in the continuum (BIC) is a standing or propagating Bloch wave with a frequency in the radiation continuum. Some BICs (e.g., antisymmetric standing waves) are symmetry-protected, since they have…
Bound states in the continuum (BICs) are localized modes residing in the radiation continuum. They were first predicted for single-particle states, and became a general feature of many wave systems. In many-body quantum physics, it is still…
Bound states in the continuum (BICs) refer to physical states that possess intrinsic zero dissipation loss even though they are located in the continuous energy spectrum. BICs have been widely explored in optical and acoustic structures,…

Unidirectional radiation is important for a variety of optoelectronic applications. Many unidirectional emitters exist, but they all rely on the use of materials or structures that forbid outgoing waves, i.e. mirrors. Here, we theoretically…
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…

In periodic structures such as photonic crystal (PhC) slabs, a bound state in the continuum (BIC) is always surrounded by resonant states with their $Q$-factor following $Q\sim 1/|{\bm \beta}-{\bm \beta}_*|^{2p}$, where ${\bm \beta}$ and…

Three-boson Efimov physics is well known in the bound-state regime, but far less in the three-particle continuum at negative two-particle scattering length where Efimov states evolve into resonances. They are studied solving rigorous…
