• Abstract: Bound states in the continuum (BICs) are generally considered unusual phenomena. In this work, we provide a method to analyze the spatial structure of particle's bound states in the presence of a minimal length, which can be used to find BICs. It is shown that the BICs are universal phenomena under the effect of the minimal length. Several examples of typical potentials, i.e., infinite potential well, linear potential, harmonic oscillator, quantum bouncer and Coulomb potential, et al, are provided to show the BICs are universal. The wave functions and energy of the first three examples are provided. A condition is obtained to determine whether the BICs can be readily found in systems. Using the condition, we find that although the BICs are universal phenomena, they are often hardly found in many ordinary environments since the bound continuous states perturbed by the effect of the minimal length are too weak to observe. The results are consistent with the current experimental results on BICs. In addition, we reveal a mechanism of the BICs. The mechanism explains why current research shows the bound discrete states are typical, whereas BICs are always found in certain particular environments when the minimal length is not considered.

  Bound states in the continuum (BICs) are localized modes residing in the radiation continuum. We predict a novel type of multiparticle states in the interaction-modulated Bose-Hubbard model. We demonstrate that the Thouless pumping of the quasi-BICs can be realized by modulating the onsite interactions in space and time.

• Bound states in the continuum induced via local symmetries in complex structures [0.0]
  Bound states in the continuum (BICs) defy conventional wisdom that assumes a spectral separation between propagating waves, that carry energy away, and spatially localized waves corresponding to discrete frequencies. We introduce theoretically BICs relying on a different mechanism, namely local symmetries that enforce a field concentration on a part of a complex system without implying any global symmetry. Our alternative for achieving BICs in complex wave systems may be useful for applications like sensing, lasing, and enhancement of nonlinear interactions that require high-$Q$ modes.

  Exceptional bound (EB) states represent an unique new class of robust bound states protected by non-Hermitian exceptional points. EB states have been physically elusive, being originally interpreted as negative probability eigenstates of the propagator of non-Hermitian Fermi gases. We show that EB states are in fact far more ubiquitous, also arising robustly in broad classes of systems whether classical or quantum.

• Many-Body Bound States in the Continuum [4.511923587827301]
  A bound state in the continuum (BIC) is a spatially bounded energy eigenstate lying in a continuous spectrum of extended eigenstates. We provide numerical and analytical pieces of evidence for the existence of many-body BICs in a one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard chain with an attractive impurity potential. We also demonstrate that the many-body BICs prevent the system from thermalization when one starts from simple initial states that can be prepared experimentally.
