Abstract
In the elementary course of quantum mechanics, we learn that there are two kinds of eigenstates, i.e., bound states and scattering states. In 1958 Anderson predicted the existence of localised states [1]. A localised state is different from a bound state, although its wave function vanishes at large distance, too.
