• Abstract summary: We theoretically investigate measurement-based feedback control of a laser-driven one-dimensional atomic chain interfaced with a nanofiber. We investigate how this feedback scheme influences the photon counting rate and the quadratures of the guided light field. Our results provide some insights on how to control and engineer dynamics in light-matter networks realizable with state-of-the-art experimental setups.

• Abstract: We theoretically investigate measurement-based feedback control of a laser-driven one-dimensional atomic chain interfaced with a nanofiber. The interfacing leads to all-to-all interactions among the atomic emitters and induces chirality, i.e. the directional emission of photons into a preferred guided mode of the nanofiber. In the setting we consider, the measurement of guided light -- conducted either by photon counting or through homodyne detection of the photocurrent quadratures -- is fed back into the system through a modulation of the driving laser field. We investigate how this feedback scheme influences the photon counting rate and the quadratures of the guided light field. Moreover, we analyse how feedback alters the many-body steady state of the atom chain. Our results provide some insights on how to control and engineer dynamics in light-matter networks realizable with state-of-the-art experimental setups.

• Directional spontaneous emission in photonic crystal slabs [49.1574468325115]
  Spontaneous emission is a fundamental out-of-equilibrium process in which an excited quantum emitter relaxes to the ground state due to quantum fluctuations. One way to modify these photon-mediated interactions is to alter the dipole radiation patterns of the emitter, e.g., by placing photonic crystals near them. Our study delves into the interaction between these directional emission patterns and the aforementioned variables, revealing the untapped potential to fine-tune collective quantum optical phenomena.
