• Abstract summary: I review the four mechanisms of bound states in the continuum (BICs) in application to microwave and acoustic cavities open to directional waveguides. The most simple are the symmetry protected BICs which are localized inside the cavity. The most general and interesting is the Friedrich-Wintgen mechanism when the BICs are result of full destructive interference of outgoing resonant modes.

• Abstract: I review the four mechanisms of bound states in the continuum (BICs) in application to microwave and acoustic cavities open to directional waveguides. The most simple are the symmetry protected BICs which are localized inside the cavity because of the orthogonality of the eigenmodes to the propagating modes of waveguides. However, the most general and interesting is the Friedrich-Wintgen mechanism when the BICs are result of full destructive interference of outgoing resonant modes. The third type of the BICs, the Fabry-Perot BICs, occur in a double resonator system when each resonator can serve as an ideal mirror. At last, the accidental BICs can be realized in the open cavities with no symmetry like the open Sinai billiard in which the eigenmode of the resonator can become orthogonal to the continuum of the waveguide accidentally by a smooth deformation of the eigenmode. We also review the one-dimensional systems in which the BICs occur owing to full destructive interference of two waves separated by spin or polarization or by paths in the Aharonov-Bohm rings. We widely use the method of effective non-Hermitian Hamiltonian equivalent to the coupled mode theory which detects bound states in the continuum (BICs) by finding zero widths resonances.

  We investigate the single-photon transport through two whispering gallery resonators (WGRs) coupled to a one-dimensional waveguide. We compute the transmission spectra and the photonic density of states for the stationary states. We show that quasi-BICs manifest as sharp resonances in photonic transmission due to small symmetry-breaking perturbations.

• Interaction-induced multiparticle bound states in the continuum [0.0]
  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.

  We propose two schemes for generating Wigner-negative entangled states unconditionally in mechanical resonators. We show analytically that both schemes stabilize a Wigner-negative entangled state that combines the entanglement of a two-mode squeezed vacuum with a cubic nonlinearity. We then perform extensive numerical simulations to test the robustness of Wigner-negative entanglement attained by approximate CPE states stabilized in the presence of thermal decoherence.

  Photonic bound states in the continuum (BICs) are special localized and non-decaying states of a photonic system with a frequency embedded into the spectrum of scattered states. Here we consider such a simple photonic structure and show that, breaking mirror symmetry and allowing for non-nearest neighbor couplings, a doublet of quasi-BIC states can be sustained.

• Waveguide quantum optomechanics: parity-time phase transitions in ultrastrong coupling regime [125.99533416395765]
  We show that the simplest set-up of two qubits, harmonically trapped over an optical waveguide, enables the ultrastrong coupling regime of the quantum optomechanical interaction. The combination of the inherent open nature of the system and the strong optomechanical coupling leads to emerging parity-time (PT) symmetry. The $mathcalPT$ phase transition drives long-living subradiant states, observable in the state-of-the-art waveguide QED setups.
