{wiki=Bound_state}
A bound state refers to a physical condition in which a particle or system is confined within a potential well or region, resulting in a stable arrangement where it cannot escape to infinity. This concept is prevalent in quantum mechanics, atomic physics, and certain areas of particle physics. \#\#\# Key Characteristics of Bound States: 1. **Energy Levels**: In a bound state, the energy of the system is quantized.
