• Bound States in the Continuum: Theory and Applications

  …her fields of physics. In acoustics, for instance, a resonator might be an organ pipe or a guitar body – in short, any hollow body that reproduces and amplifies sounds of a specific height.  A continuum, on the other hand, is a collection of states (waves) that can move freely within a resonator. This begs the question: how could these definitions possibly be comb…
