• Abstract summary: We prove that, for systems described by nonlocal potentials of the form $V(r)$, bound states at positive energies are as common as those at negative energies. We show how to construct a (naturally nonlocal) potential which supports an arbitrary normalizable state at an arbitrary positive energy.

• Abstract: We present a general theory of potentials that support bound states at positive energies (bound states in the continuum). On the theoretical side, we prove that, for systems described by nonlocal potentials of the form $V(r,r')$, bound states at positive energies are as common as those at negative energies. At the same time, we show that a local potential of the form $V(r)$ rarely supports a positive energy bound state. On the practical side, we show how to construct a (naturally nonlocal) potential which supports an arbitrary normalizable state at an arbitrary positive energy. We demonstrate our theory with numerical examples both in momentum and coordinate spaces with emphasis on the important role played by nonlocal potentials. Finally, we discuss how to observe bound states at positive energies, and where to search for nonlocal potentials which may support them.

  Anderson localization physics features three fundamental types of eigenstates: extended, localized, and critical. We report the unambiguous experimental realization of critical states governed by a rigorous mechanism for exact quantum critical states. We resolve the energy-dependent transition between localized and critical states, revealing the presence of anomalous mobility edges.

  We study the photon-dipole interactions between emitters dispersively coupled to the photonic analogue of a flat band (FB) We show that the strength of such photon-mediated interactions decays exponentially with distance with a characteristic localization length. We find that the localization length grows with the overlap between CLSs according to an analytically-derived universal scaling law valid for a large class of FBs both in 1D and 2D.

• Dissipation-induced bound states as a two-level system [0.0]
  An anti-parity-time symmetric system can have a single pair of real energy levels, while all the remaining levels are unstable due to the negative imaginary part of the energy. In this work, we investigate the formation of bound states in a tight-binding chain induced by a harmonic imaginary potential.

  Chiral state transfer along closed loops in the vicinity of an exceptional point is one of the many counter-intuitive observations in non-Hermitian physics. We demonstrate chiral state conversion between singlet and triplet Bell states through fully-quantum Liouvillian dynamics. We show that the removal of quantum jumps from the dynamics through postselection can result in near-perfect Bell states from initially separable states.

  We prove the potential inversion theorem, which says that wavefunction probability in these models is preserved under the sign inversion of the potential energy. We show how the potential inversion theorem illustrates several seemingly unrelated physical phenomena, including Bloch oscillations, localization, particle-hole symmetry, negative potential scattering, and magnetism.
