• Abstract: 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 great applicability in photonic systems for devices such as lasers and sensors, are also predicted to exist in electronic low-dimensional solid-state systems. The non-trivial topology of materials is within the known mechanisms that prevent the bound states to couple with the extended states. In this work we search for topologically protected BICs in a quantum Hall bar with an anti-dot formed by a pore far from the borders of the bar. The bound state energies and wavefunctions are calculated by means of the Recursive S-Matrix method. The resulting bound state energies coexist with extended states and exhibit a pattern complimentary to the Hofstadter butterfly. A symmetry-breaking diagonal disorder was introduced, showing that the BICs with energies far from the Landau levels remain robust. Moreover, the energy difference between consecutive BICs multiplied by the anti-dot perimeter follows the same curve despite disorder. Finally, a BIC-mediated current switching effect was found in a multi-terminal setup, which might permit their experimental detection.

  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.

  We report a driven-dissipative mechanism to generate stationary entangled $W$ states among strongly-interacting quantum emitters placed within a cavity. The non-harmonic energy structure of the interacting ensemble allows this transition to be resonantly selected by the cavity. Evidence of this purely dissipative mechanism should be observable in state-of-the-art cavity QED systems in the solid-state.

• Controllable Operations of Edge States in Cross-One-dimensional Topological Chains [0.0]
  We develop a method to control edge states using local interactions of a four-node junction between cross-one-dimensional topological atomic chains. These junction interactions can give rise to tunable couplings between the hybridized edge states within different geometric symmetry. When the atoms are precisely positioned to couple waveguides, the correlated decay caused by the environment enables the anti-symmetric edge states to present subradiant dynamics.

  One of the hallmarks of interacting systems is the formation of multi-particle bound states. We develop a high fidelity parameterizable fSim gate that implements the periodic quantum circuit of the spin-1/2 XXZ model. By placing microwave photons in adjacent qubit sites, we study the propagation of these excitations and observe their bound nature for up to 5 photons.

• Topological quantum optical states in quasiperiodic cold atomic chains [0.0]
  Topological quantum optical states in one-dimensional (1D) quasiperiodic cold atomic chains are studied in this work. We propose that by introducing incommensurate modulations on the interatomic distances of 1D periodic atomic chains, the Aubry-Andr'e-Harper model can be mimicked. It is found that the present system indeed supports nontrivial topological states localized over the boundaries.
