In order to construct a dielectric analog of spaser, we study theoretically and experimentally several configurations of cluster-based unit cells for an all-dielectric metasurface characterized by resonant conditions of the trapped mode…

Epsilon-near-zero and epsilon near-pole materials enable reflective systems supporting a class of symmetry-protected and accidental embedded eigenstates (EE) characterized by a diverging phase-resonance. Here we show that pairs of…

With a generic lattice model for electrons occupying a semi-infinite crystal with a hard surface, we study the eigenstates of the system with a bulk band gap (or the gap with nodal points). The exact solution to the wave functions of…

Epitaxially-grown semiconductor heterostructures give the possibility to tailor the potential landscape for the carriers in a very controlled way. In planar lattice-matched heterostructures, the potential has indeed a very simple and easily…

The unusual electronic properties of the quantum spin Hall or Chern insulator become manifest in the form of robust edge states when samples with boundaries are studied. In this work, we ask if and how the topologically non-trivial…

We calculated the electronic structure of a vortex in a pseudogapped superconductor within a model featuring strong correlations. With increasing strength of the correlations, the BCS core states are suppressed and the spectra in and…

There is strong interest in designing and realizing optically-active semiconductor nanostructures of greater complexity for applications in fields ranging from biomedical engineering to quantum computing. While these increasingly complex…

The stability of electron current sheets embedded within the reconnection exhaust is studied with a 3D fully kinetic particle-in-cell simulation. The electron current layers studied here form self-consistently in a reconnection regime with…

It is shown theoretically that the confinement of an electron at a repulsive potential can exist in nanostructures subjected to a strong high-frequency electromagnetic field. As a result of the confinement, the metastable bound electron…

We investigate the occurrence of bound states in the continuum (BIC's) in serial structures of quantum dots coupled to an external waveguide, when some characteristic length of the system is changed. By resorting to a multichannel…

Bound states in the continuum (BICs) are quantum states with normalizable wave functions and energies that lie within the continuous spectrum for which extended or dispersive states are also available. These special states, which have shown…

Metastability is ubiquitous in diverse complex systems. In open quantum systems, metastability offers protection against dissipation and decoherence, yet its application in quantum batteries remains unexplored. We propose a solid-state open…

We developed the theory of elastic electron tunneling through a potential barrier driven by a strong high-frequency electromagnetic field. It is demonstrated that the driven barrier can be considered as a stationary two-barrier potential…

This work reviews foundations and applications of the complex-energy continuum shell model that provides a consistent many-body description of bound states, resonances, and scattering states. The model can be considered a quasi-stationary…

We describe the collisional interaction between two different atoms that are trapped in a harmonic potential. The atoms are exposed to a magnetic field, which is modulated in the vicinity of an s-wave Feshbach resonance, and we study the…

Topological superconductors host new states of quantum matter which show a pairing gap in the bulk and gapless surface states providing a platform to realize Majorana fermions. Recently, alkaline-earth metal Sr intercalated Bi2Se3 has been…

We identify a class of trapping potentials in cubic nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equations (NLSEs) that make them non-integrable, but prevent the emergence of power spectra associated with ergodicity. The potentials are characterized by…

We show that edge states similar to those known for topological insulators exist in two-dimensional electron system with one-band spectrum in the presence of heterogeneous spin-orbit interaction (SOI). These states appear at boundaries…

Isolated electrons resting above a helium surface are predicted to have a bound spectrum corresponding to a one-dimensional hydrogen atom. But in fact, the observed spectrum is closer to that of a quantum-defect atom. Such a model is…

Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is a large band gap layered crystal, frequently incorporated in van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures as an insulating or tunnel barrier. Localised states with energies within its band gap can emit visible…
