• Abstract: We study the nonlinear spectra and multi-photon correlation functions for the waveguide output of a two-level system (including realistic dissipation channels) with a time-delayed coherent feedback. We compute these observables by extending a recent quantum trajectory discretized-waveguide (QTDW) approach which exploits quantum trajectory simulations and a collisional model for the waveguide to tractably simulate the dynamics. Following a description of the general technique, we show how to calculate the first and second order quantum correlation functions, in the presence of a coherent pumping field. With a short delay time, we show how feedback can be used to filter out the central peak of the Mollow triplet or switch the output between bunched and anti-bunched photons by proper choice of round trip phase. We further show how the loop length and round trip phase effects the zero-time second order quantum correlation function, an indicator of bunching or anti-bunching. New resonances introduced through the feedback loop are also shown through their appearance in the incoherent output spectrum from the waveguide. We explain these results in the context of the waiting time distributions of the system output and individual trajectories, uniquely stochastic observables that are easily accessible with the QTDW model.

  We explore the statistical behavior of the light emanating from a coherently driven Jaynes-Cummings (JC) oscillator operating in the regime of multiphoton blockade. We find that monitoring different quadratures of the cavity field in conditional homodyne detection affects the times waited between successive photon counter clicks'' Despite the fact that the steady-state cavity occupation is of the order of a photon, monitoring of the developing bimodality also impacts on the ratio between the emissions directed along the two decoherence channels.

  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.

We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront. The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
