Abstract

This work explores the properties of two interacting bosons in a flat-band system. The authors show how collective particle motion processes mediated by interactions can lead to a variety of two-body topological states. Furthermore, they identify a set of bound states that remain localized in a small region of the lattice for arbitrarily large interactions.
