Bound states in the continuum (BICs) have attracted attention in photonics owing to their
interesting properties. For example, BICs can effectively confine light in a counterintuitive …

Recent research in topological photonics has not only proposed and realized novel
topological phenomena such as one‐way broadband propagation and robust transport of …

The introduction of bound states in the continuum (BICs) to photonics has revolutionized the
way cavity design and light–matter interactions are thought about in general. BICs can have …

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 …

The technique of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP), which allows efficient and
selective population transfer between quantum states without suffering loss due to …

In 1929, only three years after the advent of quantum mechanics, von Neumann and Wigner
showed that Schrödinger's equation can have bound states above the continuum threshold …

Metasurfaces based on resonant subwavelength photonic structures enable novel methods
of wavefront control and light focusing, underpinning a new generation of flat-optics devices …

The realization of high-Q resonances in a silicon metasurface with various broken-symmetry
blocks is reported. Theoretical analysis reveals that the sharp resonances in the …

The concept of “bound states in the continuum”(BIC) describes an idealized physical system
exhibiting zero radiative loss composed, for example, of an infinitely extended array of …

Optical bound states in the continuum (BIC) are localized states with energy lying above the
light line and having infinite lifetime. Any losses taking place in real systems result in …
