A wide range of electrochemical reactions of practical importance occur at the interface between a semiconductor and an electrolyte. We present an embedded density-functional theory method using the recently released self-consistent…
Bound states in the continuum (BICs) are spatially localized states with energy embedded in the continuum spectrum of extended states. The combination of BICs physics and nontrivial band topology theory giving rise to topological BICs,…
When the boundary condition of a quantum system changes, how fast will it affect the state of the system? Here we show that if the response takes place immediately, then it can allow superluminal signal transfer. Else if the response…
The surface free energy is the difference between the free energies for a system with open boundary conditions and the same system with periodic boundary conditions. We use the quantum transfer matrix formalism to express the surface free…

Bound states in the continuum (BICs) have some unusual properties and important applications in photonics. A periodic structure sandwiched between two homogeneous media is the most popular platform for observing BICs and realizing their…
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…
We theoretically investigate and experimentally demonstrate that genuine bound states in the continuum (BICs) -- polarization-protected BICs -- can be completely localized within finite-size solid resonators. This bound mode is realized in…
Several systems display an equilibrium condensation transition, where a finite fraction of a conserved quantity is spatially localized. The presence of two conservation laws may induce the emergence of such transition in an…
The paper is an attempt to generalize a methodology, which is similar to the bounded-input bounded-output method currently widely used for the system stability studies. The presented earlier methodology allows decomposition of input space…
We consider a time dependent trap externally manipulated in such a way that one of its bound states is brought into an instant contact with the continuum threshold, and then down again. It is shown that, in the limit of slow evolution, the…

We have developed a formalism that includes both quasibound states with real energies and quantum resonances within the same theoretical framework, and that admits a clean and unambiguous distinction between these states and the states of…
Applying knowledge of the interaction between heavy quarks derived from the study of $c\overline{c}$ and $b\overline{b}$ bound states, we calculate the spectrum of $c\overline{b}$ mesons. We compute transition rates for the electromagnetic…
We consider the problem of proving that each point in a given set of states ("target set") can indeed be reached by a given nondeterministic continuous-time dynamical system from some initial state. We consider this problem for abstract…
We show the direct applicability of the Brouwer fixed point theorem for the existence of equilibrium points and periodic solutions for differential systems on general domains satisfying geometric conditions at the boundary. We develop a…
In three-band BCS superconductors with repulsive interband interactions, frustration between the bands can lead to an inherently complex gap function, arising out of a phase difference between the bands in the range 0 and {\pi}. Since the…
We propose a unique framework to study the topological properties of an optical bound state in the continuum(BIC). We employ the interactions between proximity resonances undergoing avoided resonance crossing in a specialty optical…
We construct and investigate a family of two-band unitary systems living on a cylinder geometry and presenting localized edge states. Using the transfer matrix formalism, we solve and investigate in details such states in the thermodynamic…
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…
