  "abstract": "We investigate the ground and excited states of interacting electrons in a quantum point contact using exact diagonalization method. We find that strongly localized states in the point contact appear when a new conductance channel opens due to momentum mismatch. These localized states form magnetic impurity states which are stable in a finite regime of chemical potential and excitation energy. Interestingly, these magnetic impurities have ferromagnetic coupling, which shed light on the experimentally observed puzzling coexistence of Kondo correlation and spin filtering in a quantum point contact.",
