Trapping and storing light for arbitrary time lengths in open cavities is a major goal of nanophotonics, with potential applications ranging from energy harvesting to optical information processing. Unfortunately, however, the resonance…

Confining electromagnetic energy is crucial to enhance light-matter interactions, with important implications for science and technology. Here, we discuss the opportunities offered by trapping and confining light in open structures, based…

Continuum-buried defect states in semiconductors are generally expected to be optically inactive due to their strong coupling to continuum bands. Here, we show that such defects can instead host radiative electronic bound states in the…

Optical embedded eigenstates are localized modes of an open structure that are compatible to radiation yet they have infinite lifetime and diverging quality factors. Their realization in nanostructures finite in all dimensions is inherently…

We study bound states embedded into the continuum of edge states in two-dimensional topological insulators. These states emerge in the presence of a short-range potential of a structural defect coupled to the boundary. In this case the edge…

Photonic bound states in the continuum are spatially localised modes with infinitely long lifetimes that exist within a radiation continuum at discrete energy levels. These states have been explored in various systems where their emergence…

Defects in the atomic structure of crystalline materials may spawn electronic bound states, known as \emph{defect states}, which decay rapidly away from the defect. Simplified models of defect states typically assume the defect is…

Embedded eigenstates are nonradiative modes of an open structure with momentum compatible with radiation, yet characterized by unboundedly large Q-factors. Traditionally, these states originate from total destructive interference of…

We study the energy structure and dynamics of a two-level emitter (2LE) locally coupled to a semi-infinite one-dimensional (1D) coupled-resonator array (CRA). The energy spectrum in the single-excitation subspace features a continuous band…

We consider bound states in the continuum (BICs) in a 1D multilayered system of an anisotropic defect layer embedded into an anisotropic photonic crystal. We analytically demonstrate that an anisotropic defect layer embedded into…

Cavities play a fundamental role in wave phenomena from quantum mechanics to electromagnetism and dictate the spatiotemporal physics of lasers. In general, they are constructed by closing all "doors" through which waves can escape. We…

We introduce a novel concept of surface bound states in the continuum, i.e. surface modes embedded into the linear spectral band of a discrete lattice. We suggest an efficient method for creating such surface modes and the local bounded…

We present a theory of topological edge states in one-dimensional resonant photonic crystals with a compound unit cell. Contrary to the traditional electronic topological states the states under consideration are radiative, i.e., they decay…

Bound states in the continuum (BICs) have been extensively exploited to enhance light--matter interactions in metamaterials, yet their emergence and utility in multi-atom waveguide platforms remain far less explored. Here we study…

Trapping light in open cavities is a long sought "holy grail" of nanophotonics. Plasmonic materials may offer a unique opportunity in this context, as they may fully suppress the radiation loss and enable the observation of spatially…

Diffraction of elastic waves is considered for a system consisting of two parallel arrays of thin (subwavelength) cylinders that are arranged periodically. The embedding media supports waves with all polarizations, one longitudinal and two…

In this Letter, it is shown that interactions can facilitate the emergence of topological edge states of quantum-degenerate bosonic systems in the presence of a harmonic potential. This effect is demonstrated with the concrete model of a…

We reveal that finite-size solid acoustic resonators can support genuine bound states in the continuum (BICs) completely localized inside the resonator. The developed theory provides the multipole classification of such BICs in the…

We show that a discrete tight-binding model representing either a random or a quasiperiodic array of bonds, can have the entire energy spectrum or a substantial part of it absolutely continuous, populated by extended eigenfunctions only,…

It is shown that two fundamentally different phenomena, the bound states in continuum and the spectral singularity (or time-reversed spectral singularity), can occur simultaneously. This can be achieved, in particular, in a rectangular core…
