- Abstract: Quantum optics with giant emitters has shown a new route for the observation
and manipulation of non-Markovian properties in waveguide-QED. In this paper we
extend the theory of giant atoms, hitherto restricted to the perturbative
light-matter regime, to deal with the ultrastrong coupling regime. Using static
and dynamical polaron methods we address the low energy subspace of a giant
atom coupled to an Ohmic waveguide beyond the standard rotating wave
approximation. We analyze the equilibrium properties of the system by computing
the atomic frequency renormalization as a function of the coupling
characterizing the localization-delocalization quantum phase transition for a
giant atom. We show that virtual photons dressing the ground state are
non-exponentially localized around the contact points but decay as a power-law.
Dynamics of an initially excited giant atom are studied, pointing out the
effects of ultrastrong coupling on the Lamb shift and the spontaneous emission
decay rate. Finally we comment on the existence of the so-called oscillating
bound states beyond the rotating wave approximation.

We study the Markovian and Non-Markovian dynamics in a giant atom system which couples to a coupled resonator waveguide (CRW) via two distant sites.
We find that the giant atom population can exhibit an oscillating behavior and the photon can be trapped in the giant atom regime.
The predicted effects can be probed in state-of-the-art waveguide QED experiments and provide a striking example of how the different kinds of bound states modify the dynamics of quantum open system.

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.

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.
