• Title: Coherent single-photon scattering spectra for a giant-atom waveguide-QED system beyond dipole approximation
• Authors: Q. Y. Cai and W. Z. Jia
• Abstract summary: We investigate the single-photon scattering spectra of a giant atom coupled to a one dimensional waveguide via multiple connection points or a continuous coupling region. We find that under the Markovian limit, the phase decay is detuning-independent, resulting in Lorentzian lineshapes. In the non-Markovian regime, the accumulated phases become detuning-dependent, giving rise to non-Lorentzian lineshapes.

• Abstract: We investigate the single-photon scattering spectra of a giant atom coupled to a one dimensional waveguide via multiple connection points or a continuous coupling region. Using a full quantum mechanical method, we obtain the general analytic expressions for the single-photon scattering coefficients, which are valid in both the Markovian and the non-arkovian regimes. We summarize the influences of the non-dipole effects, mainly caused by the phases accumulated by photons traveling between coupling points, on the scattering spectra. We find that under the Markovian limit, the phase decay is detuning-independent, resulting in Lorentzian lineshapes characterized by the Lamb shifts and the effective decay rates. While in the non-Markovian regime, the accumulated phases become detuning-dependent, giving rise to non-Lorentzian lineshapes, characterized by multiple side peaks and total transmission points. Another interesting phenomenon in the non-Markovian regime is generation of broad photonic band gap by a single giant atom. We further generalize the case of discrete coupling points to the continuum limit with atom coupling to the waveguide via a continuous area, and analyze the scattering spectra for some typical distributions of coupling strength.

  We investigate coherent single-photon transport in a waveguide quantum electrodynamics system containing multiple giant atoms. We find that the non-dipole effects of giant atoms can strongly manipulate several types of collective properties of the output fields.

  We consider an ensemble of Alkali atoms that are continuously optically pumped and probed. Due to the collective scattering of photons at large optical depth, the steady state of atoms does not correspond to an uncorrelated tensor-product state. We find and characterize regimes of Raman lasing, akin to the model of a superradiant laser.
