• Abstract summary: We derive a master equation for multiphoton pulses interacting with multiple emitters in a waveguide-quantum electrodynamics system. We can calculate the real-time dynamics of an array of interacting emitters driven by an incident photon pulse.

• Abstract: We derive a generalized master equation for multiphoton pulses interacting with multiple emitters in a waveguide-quantum electrodynamics system where the emitter frequency can be modulated and the effects of non-guided modes can also be considered. Based on this theory, we can calculate the real-time dynamics of an array of interacting emitters driven by an incident photon pulse which can be vacuum, a coherent state, a Fock state or their superpositions. Moreover, we also derive generalized input-output relations to calculate the reflectivity and transmissivity of this system. We can also calculate the output photon pulse shapes. Our theory can find important applications in the study of waveguide-based quantum systems.

  We present a detailed quantum theory and simulations of a few-photon Fock state pulse interacting with a two-level system (TLS) in a waveguide. For a rectangular pulse shape, we present an exact temporal scattering theory for the waveguide-QED system to derive analytical expressions for the TLS population. Numerically, we also present matrix product state (MPS) simulations, which allow us to compute more general photon correlation functions for arbitrary quantum pulses.

  We study theoretically an array of two-level qubits moving relative to a one-dimensional waveguide. When the frequency of this motion approaches twice the qubit resonance frequency, it induces parametric generation of photons and excitation of the qubits. We develop a comprehensive general theoretical framework that incorporates both perturbative diagrammatic techniques and a rigorous master-equation approach.

  We have developed a theory of parametric photon generation in the waveguides coupled to arrays of quantum emitters with temporally modulated resonance frequencies. Such generation can be interpreted as a dynamical Casimir effect. We demonstrate numerically and analytically how the emission directionality and photon-photon correlations can be controlled by the phases of the modulation.

  We describe the interaction of a propagating pulse of quantum radiation with a localized quantum system. By transformation to an appropriate picture, we identify the usual Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonian between the scatterer and a superposition of the initial and final mode. The transformed master equation offers important insights into the system dynamics and it permits numerically efficient solutions.

  We show that a pair of two-level emitters, chirally coupled to a waveguide, may scatter single- and two-photon components of an input pulse into temporal modes with a fidelity $gtrsim 0.9997$. The presented scheme can be employed to construct logic elements for propagating photons, such as a deterministic nonlinear-sign gate with a fidelity $gtrsim 0.9995$.

  Multiphonon state plays an important role in quantum information processing and quantum metrology. We propose a scheme to realize dynamical emission of phonon pairs based on the technique of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage in a single cavity optomechanical system. Our proposal can be extended to achieve an antibunched $n$-phonon emitter, which has potential applications for on-chip quantum communications.
