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.

We present a distinct mechanism for the formation of bound states in the continuum (BICs). In chiral quantum systems there appear zero-energy states in which the wave function has finite amplitude only in one of the subsystems defined by the chiral s
ymmetry. When the system is coupled to leads with a continuum energy band, part of these states remain bound. We derive some algebraic rules for the number of these states depending on the dimensionality and rank of the total Hamiltonian. We examine the transport properties of such systems including the appearance of Fano resonances in some limiting cases. Finally, we discuss experimental setups based on microwave dielectric resonators and atoms in optical lattices where these predictions can be tested.
Robust edge transport can occur when particles in crystalline lattices interact with an external magnetic field. This system is well described by Blochs theorem, with the spectrum being composed of bands of bulk states and in-gap edge states. When th
e confining lattice geometry is altered to be quasicrystaline, then Blochs theorem breaks down. However, we still expect to observe the basic characteristics of bulk states and current carrying edge states. Here, we show that for quasicrystals in magnetic fields, there is also a third option; the bulk localised transport states. These states share the in-gap nature of the well-known edge states and can support transport along them, but they are fully contained within the bulk of the system, with no support along the edge. We consider both finite and infinite systems, using rigorous error controlled computational techniques that are not prone to finite-size effects. The bulk localised transport states are preserved for infinite systems, in stark contrast to the normal edge states. This allows for transport to be observed in infinite systems, without any perturbations, defects, or boundaries being introduced. We confirm the in-gap topological nature of the bulk localised transport states for finite and infinite systems by computing common topological measures; namely the Bott index and local Chern marker. The bulk localised transport states form due to a magnetic aperiodicity arising from the interplay of length scales between the magnetic field and quasiperiodic lattice. Bulk localised transport could have interesting applications similar to those of the edge states on the boundary, but that could now take advantage of the larger bulk of the lattice. The infinite size techniques introduced here, especially the calculation of topological measures, could also be widely applied to other crystalline, quasicrystalline, and disordered models.
Understanding and tuning correlated states is of great interest and significance to modern condensed matter physics. The recent discovery of unconventional superconductivity and Mott-like insulating states in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (tBL
G) presents a unique platform to study correlation phenomena, in which the Coulomb energy dominates over the quenched kinetic energy as a result of hybridized flat bands. Extending this approach to the case of twisted multilayer graphene would allow even higher control over the band structure because of the reduced symmetry of the system. Here, we study electronic transport properties in twisted trilayer graphene (tTLG, bilayer on top of monolayer graphene heterostructure). We observed the formation of van Hove singularities which are highly tunable by twist angle and displacement field and can cause strong correlation effects under optimum conditions, including superconducting states. We provide basic theoretical interpretation of the observed electronic structure.
We study theoretically the radiative lifetime of bound two-particle excitations in a waveguide with an array of two-level atoms, realising a 1D Dicke-like model. Recently, Zhang et al. [arXiv:1908.01818] have numerically found an unexpected sharp max
imum of the bound pair lifetime when the array period $d$ is equal to $1/12$th of the light wavelength $lambda_0$]. We uncover a rigorous transformation from the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian with the long-ranged radiative coupling to the nearest-neigbor coupling model with the radiative losses only at the edges. This naturally explains the puzzle of long lifetime: the effective mass of the bound photon pair also diverges for $d=lambda_0/12$, hampering an escape of photons through the edges. We also link the oscillations of the lifetime with the number of atoms to the nonmonotous quasi-flat-band dispersion of the bound pair.
We study the interplay between disorder and topology for the localized edge states of light in topological zigzag arrays of resonant dielectric nanoparticles. We characterize topological properties by the winding number that depends on both zigzag an
gle and spacing between nanoparticles in the array. For equal-spacing arrays, the system may have two values of the winding number $ u=0$ or $1$, and it demonstrates localization at the edges even in the presence of disorder, being consistent with experimental observations for finite-length nanodisk structures. For staggered-spacing arrays, the system possesses richer topological phases characterized by the winding numbers $ u=0$, $1$ or $2$, which depend on the averaged zigzag angle and disorder strength. In a sharp contrast to the equal-spacing zigzag arrays, staggered-spacing arrays reveal two types of topological phase transitions induced by the angle disorder, (i) $ u = 0 leftrightarrow u = 1$ and (ii) $ u = 1 leftrightarrow u = 2$. More importantly, the spectrum of staggered-spacing arrays may remain gapped even in the case of a strong disorder.
