Abstract

In the framework of the Bose-Hubbard model, we show that two-particle surface bound states embedded in the continuum (BIC) can be sustained at the edge of a semi-infinite one-dimensional tight-binding lattice for any infinitesimally-small impurity potential at the lattice boundary. Such thresholdless surface states, that can be referred to as Tamm-Hubbard BIC states, exist provided that the impurity potential is attractive (repulsive) and the particle-particle Hubbard interaction is repulsive (attractive), i.e. for .
