• Authors: Qing-Yang Qiu, Ying Wu, and Xin-You L\"u
• Abstract summary: We investigate the non-Markovian dynamics of two giant artificial atoms interacting with a continuum of bosonic modes in a 1D waveguide. For certain collective states, the decay rates are found to be far beyond that predicted in the the Dicke model and standard Markovian framework. The trapped photons/phonons in the BICs can also be re-released conveniently by changing the energy level splitting of giant atoms.

• Abstract: We investigate the non-Markovian dynamics of two giant artificial atoms interacting with a continuum of bosonic modes in a one-dimensional (1D) waveguide. Based on the diagrammatic method, we present the exact analytical solutions, which predict the rich phenomena of collective radiance. For the certain collective states, the decay rates are found to be far beyond that predicted in the the Dicke model and standard Markovian framework, which indicates the occurrence of super-superradiance. The superadiance-to-subradiance transition could be realized by adjusting the exchange symmetry of giant atoms. Moreover, there exists multiple bound states in continuum (BICs), with photons/phonons bouncing back and forth in the cavity-like geometries formed by the coupling points. The trapped photons/phonons in the BICs can also be re-released conveniently by changing the energy level splitting of giant atoms. The mechanism relies on the joint effects of the coherent time-delayed feedback and the interference between the coupling points of giant atoms. This work fundamentally broadens the fields of giant atom collective radiance by introducing non-Markovianity. It also paves the way for a clean analytical description of nonlinear open quantum system with more complex retardation.

• Non-Markovian Collective Emission of Giant emitters in the Zeno Regime [0.0]
  We explore the collective Zeno dynamics of giant artificial atoms that are coupled, via multiple coupling points, to a common photonic or acoustic reservoir. We reveal that giant atoms build up their collective emission smoothly from the decay rate of zero to that predicted by Markovian approximation. Our results might be probed in state-of-art waveguide QED experiments, and fundamentally broaden the fields of collective emission in systems with giant atoms.

  A hallmark of giant-atom physics is their non-Markovian character in the form of self-coherent feedback. We show that by adjusting the couplings' phases, a giant atom can, counterintuitively, enter an exact Markovian regime.

  We consider giant atoms coupled to a one-dimensional topological waveguide reservoir. In the bandgap regime, where the giant-atom frequency lies outside the band, we study the generation and distribution of giant atom-photon bound states. In the band regime, the giant-atom frequency lies in the band, under the Born-Markov approximation, we obtained effective coherence and correlated dissipative interactions.

  We show how photon-mediated interactions give rise to a plaquette-ordered bond pattern in the atomic ground state. The pattern opens a non-trivial topological gap in 2D, resulting in a higher-order topological phase hosting corner states. Our work shows how atomic quantum simulators can be harnessed to investigate novel strongly-correlated topological phenomena.

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 show that it is modulated in time, and that the presence of the oscillating mirror can enhance or inhibit the decay rate.
