• Abstract: A model of quasistationary states is constructed for the one-dimensional edge states propagating along the edge of a two-dimensional topological insulator based on HgTe/CdTe quantum well in the presence of magnetic barriers with finite transparency. The lifetimes of these quasistationary states are found analytically and numerically via different approaches including the solution of the stationary Schroedinger equation with complex energy and the solution of the transmission problem for a double barrier structure. The results can serve as a guide for determining the parameters of magnetic barriers creating the quantum dots where the lifetimes for the broadened discrete levels are long enough for manipulation with their occupation numbers by external fields.

• Alternating quantum-emitter chains: Exceptional-point phase transition, edge state, and quantum walks [0.0]
  We study the long-range hopping limit of a one-dimensional array of $N$ equal-distanced quantum emitters in free space. For two species of emitters in an alternating arrangement, the single excitation sector exhibits non-Hermitian spectral singularities known as exceptional points. We unveil an unconventional phase transition, dubbed exceptional-point phase transition, from the collective to individual spontaneous emission behaviors.

  We study phase transitions occurring in the stationary state of the dynamics of integrable many-body non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. We observe that the entanglement phase transitions occurring in the stationary state have the same nature as that occurring in the vacuum of the non-hermitian Hamiltonian.

  We study the phenomenon of transmission across the singularity that separates the two half-cylinders. All the local realisations of the free (Laplace-Beltrami) quantum Hamiltonian are examined as non-equivalent protocols of transmission/reflection. This allows to comprehend the distinguished status of the so-called bridging' transmission protocol previously identified in the literature.

For open boundary condition, we find exotic topological bound-pair edge states with radiative losses. By joining two structures with different spatial modulations, we find long-lived interface states which may have applications in storage and quantum information processing.

• Topological quantum optical states in quasiperiodic cold atomic chains [0.0]
  Topological quantum optical states in one-dimensional (1D) quasiperiodic cold atomic chains are studied in this work. We propose that by introducing incommensurate modulations on the interatomic distances of 1D periodic atomic chains, the Aubry-Andr'e-Harper model can be mimicked. It is found that the present system indeed supports nontrivial topological states localized over the boundaries.
