• Title: Van Hove bound states in the continuum: Localised subradiant states in finite open lattices
• Authors: Jordi Mur-Petit and Rafael A. Molina
• Abstract summary: We show that finite lattices with arbitrary boundaries may support large degenerate subspaces, stemming from the underlying translational symmetry of the lattice. When the lattice is coupled to an environment, a potentially large number of these states remains weakly or perfectly uncoupled from the environment, realising a new kind of bound states in the continuum.

• Abstract: We show that finite lattices with arbitrary boundaries may support large degenerate subspaces, stemming from the underlying translational symmetry of the lattice. When the lattice is coupled to an environment, a potentially large number of these states remains weakly or perfectly uncoupled from the environment, realising a new kind of bound states in the continuum. These states are strongly localized along particular directions of the lattice which, in the limit of strong coupling to the environment, leads to spatially-localized subradiant states.

• Gapless Floquet topology [40.2428948628001]
  We study the existence of topological edge zero- and pi-modes despite the lack of bulk gaps in the quasienergy spectrum. We numerically study the effect of interactions, which give a finite lifetime to the edge modes in the thermodynamic limit with the decay rate consistent with Fermi's Golden Rule.

  We show topologically ordered states in the complex-valued spectra of non-Hermitian systems. These arise when the distinctive exceptional points in the energy surfaces of such models are annihilated. We illustrate the characteristics of the topologically protected states in a non-Hermitian two-band model.

• Engineering skin effect across a junction of Hermitian and non-Hermitian lattice [0.0]
  We study a system where the two edges of a non-Hermitian lattice with asymmetric nearest-neighbor hopping are connected with two Hermitian lattices with symmetric nearest-neighbor hopping. In the absence of those Hermitian lattices, the majority of the eigenstates of the system will be localized at the edges. We show that once we connect it with the Hermitian lattices, for open boundary conditions (OBC), the localized states exist at the junction of the non-Hermitian and Hermitian lattices.

  We devise a generic and experimentally accessible recipe to prepare boundary states of topological or nontopological quantum systems. We harness the spatial structure of boundary states which vanish on sublattices where losses are suitably engineered. This yields unique nontrivial steady states that populate the targeted boundary states with infinite lifetimes while all other states are exponentially damped in time.

  Fermi's Golden Rule (FGR) applies in the limit where an initial quantum state is weakly coupled to a continuum of other final states overlapping its energy. Here we investigate what happens away from this limit, where the set of final states is discrete, with a nonzero mean level spacing.

• Entanglement and fermionization of two distinguishable fermions in a strict and non strict one-dimensional space [0.0]
  We present two alternative representations of the ground state that we associate with two different types of one-dimensional spaces. We find that the entanglement of the ground state is strongly conditioned by those one-dimensional space features. In the strongly repulsive regime the ground state changes smoothly from a superposition of Slater-like states to a finite superposition of Slaters.
