Abstract
We show that a Bose-Hubbard model extended with pair-correlated hopping has exact eigenstates, quantum lattice compactons, with complete single-site localization. These appear at parameter values where the one-particle tunneling is exactly canceled by nonlocal pair correlations, and correspond in a classical limit to compact solutions of an extended discrete nonlinear Schr\"odinger model. Classical compactons at other parameter values, as well as multisite compactons, generically get delocalized by quantum effects, but strong localization appears asymptotically for increasing particle number.
