After almost 100 years, scientists achieve elusive bound states in continuum
After almost 100 years, scientists achieve elusive bound states in continuum About 96 years ago, physicists John von Neumann and Eugene Wigner proposed a strange wave phenomenon that seemed to challenge the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics. This phenomenon, known as bound states in the continuum (BIC), occurs when waves are confined within a system […]
