• Abstract summary: We show that a system of three parallel waveguides leads to an ultrabroadband power splitting associated with an overall 50% power loss. The present concept does not need any slow adiabatic evolution of the waveguide parameters and may therefore be realized over very short device lengths.

• Abstract: We show that a system of three parallel waveguides, among which the central one is dissipative, leads to an ultrabroadband power splitting associated with an overall 50% power loss. The present approach is reminiscent of non-Hermitian systems in quantum mechanics and does not require a perfect effective index matching between the external and the central waveguides. The present concept does not need any slow adiabatic evolution of the waveguide parameters and may therefore be realized over very short device lengths, especially in the case where the central waveguide is of the plasmonic type.

  We show that the chirality of photonic bound state, that emerges in the bandgap of the waveguide, depends only on the energy of the qubit. In contrast to previous proposals that have either shown imperfect chirality or fixed directionality, our waveguide QED scheme achieves both perfect chirality and the capability to switch the directionality on demand with just one tunable element.

  Low-noise microwave amplification is crucial for detecting weak signals in quantum technologies and radio astronomy. Current amplifiers do not satisfy all these requirements, severely limiting the scalability of superconducting quantum devices. Here, we demonstrate the feasibility of building a near-ideal quantum amplifier using a homogeneous Josephson junction array and the non-trivial topology of its dynamics.

  We show that the simplest set-up of two qubits, harmonically trapped over an optical waveguide, enables the ultrastrong coupling regime of the quantum optomechanical interaction. The combination of the inherent open nature of the system and the strong optomechanical coupling leads to emerging parity-time (PT) symmetry. The $mathcalPT$ phase transition drives long-living subradiant states, observable in the state-of-the-art waveguide QED setups.
