Quantum-elastic bump on a surface
  We use an exact solution of the elastic membrane shape equation, representing the curvature, which will serve as a quantum potential in the quantum mechanical two dimensional Schrodinger equation for a (quasi-) particle on the surface of the membrane. Surface curvature in the quasi one-dimensional case is related to an unexpected static formation: on one hand the elastic energy has a maximum where surface curvature has a maximum and on the other hand the concentration of the expectation value to find the (quasi-) particle is again where the elastic energy is concentrated, namely where surface curvature has a maximum. This represents a particular form of a conformon.
