• Abstract: The dynamics of a three-state quantum walk with amplitude-dependent phase shifts is investigated. We consider two representative inputs whose linear evolution is known to display either full dispersion of the wave packet or intrinsic localization on the initial position. The nonlinear counterpart presents much more involved dynamics featuring self-trapping, solitonic pulses, radiation, and chaotic-like behavior. We show that nonlinearity leads to a metastable self-trapped wavepacket component that radiates in the long-time regime with the survival probability $\propto t^{-1/2}$. A sudden dynamical transition from such metastable state to the point when the radiation process is triggered is found for a set of parameters.

• Subradiant edge states in an atom chain with waveguide-mediated hopping [0.0]
  We analyze a system formed by two chains of identical emitters coupled to a waveguide, whose guided modes induce excitation hopping. We find that, in the single excitation limit, the bulk topological properties of the Hamiltonian that describes the coherent dynamics of the system are identical to the ones of a one-dimensional Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model. We analytically identify parameter regimes where edge states arise which are fully localized to the boundaries of the chain, independently of the system size.
