• Abstract summary: We study the possibility of observing the typical features of the conventional waveguide QED scenario in a one-dimensional subwavelength atomic array. For the role of emitters, we propose to use anti-symmetric states of atomic dimers as effective two-level systems. We uncover significant non-Markovian corrections which arise from both the finiteness of the array and through retardation effects.

• Abstract: Quantum emitters coupled to a waveguide is a paradigm of quantum optics, whose essential properties are described by waveguide quantum electrodynamics (QED). We study the possibility of observing the typical features of the conventional waveguide QED scenario in a system where the role of the waveguide is played by a one-dimensional subwavelength atomic array. For the role of emitters, we propose to use anti-symmetric states of atomic dimers - a pair of closely spaced atoms - as effective two-level systems, which significantly reduces the effect of free-space spontaneous emission. We solve the dynamics of the system both when the dimer frequency lies inside and when it lies outside the band of modes of the array. Along with well-known phenomena of collective emission into the guided modes and waveguide mediated long-range dimer-dimer interactions, we uncover significant non-Markovian corrections which arise from both the finiteness of the array and through retardation effects.

  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.

• Quantum coherent feedback control of an N-level atom with multiple excitations [2.5233776732262045]
  We study the dynamics of a quantum coherent feedback network, where an $N$-level atom is coupled with a cavity and the cavity is also coupled with single or multiple parallel waveguides. When the atom is at the highest energy level, it can emit multiple photons into the cavity, and the photons can be further transmitted to the waveguides and re-interact with the cavity quantum electrodynamics (cavity-QED) system. We model the dynamics of the atomic and photonic states of the cavity-QED system as a linear control system with delay.

• Sub-radiant states for imperfect quantum emitters coupled by a nanophotonic waveguide [0.0]
  We investigate the optical interaction between two quantum emitters mediated by one-dimensional waveguides in a realistic solid-state environment. We show that as dephasing increases, the signatures of sub-radiance quickly vanish in intensity measurements. The work lays out a route to the experimental realization of sub-radiant states in nanophotonic waveguides containing solid-state emitters.

• Unconventional Quantum Electrodynamics with Hofstadter-Ladder Waveguide [5.693517450178467]
  We propose a novel quantum electrodynamics (QED) platform where quantum emitters interact with a Hofstadter-ladder waveguide. By assuming emitter's frequency to be resonant with the lower band, we find that the spontaneous emission is chiral. Due to quantum interference, we find that both the emitter-waveguide interaction and the amplitudes of bound states are periodically modulated by giant emitter's size.

• Waveguide quantum optomechanics: parity-time phase transitions in ultrastrong coupling regime [125.99533416395765]
  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.
