Bound states in the continuum (BICs) are waves that remain localized even though they
coexist with a continuous spectrum of radiating waves that can carry energy away. Their very …

Certain lattice wave systems in translationally invariant settings have one or more spectral
bands that are strictly flat or independent of momentum in the tight binding approximation …

Discovery of robust yet reversibly switchable electric dipoles at reduced dimensions is
critical to the advancement of nanoelectronics devices. Energy bands flat in momentum …

The recently established paradigm of higher-order topological states of matter has shown
that not only edge and surface states, but also states localized to corners, can have robust …

Flatbands have become a cornerstone of contemporary condensed-matter physics and
photonics. In electronics, flatbands entail comparable energy bandwidth and Coulomb …

Exceptional points (EPs), at which both eigenvalues and eigenvectors coalesce, are
ubiquitous and unique features of non-Hermitian systems. Second-order EPs are by far the …
