• Abstract summary: We show that the chirality of photonic bound state, that emerges in the bandgap of the waveguide, depends only on the energy of the qubit. In contrast to previous proposals that have either shown imperfect chirality or fixed directionality, our waveguide QED scheme achieves both perfect chirality and the capability to switch the directionality on demand with just one tunable element.

• Abstract: We propose an in-situ tunable chiral quantum system, composed of a quantum emitter coupled to a waveguide based on the Rice-Mele model (where we alternate both the on-site potentials and tunnel couplings between sites in the waveguide array). Specifically, we show that the chirality of photonic bound state, that emerges in the bandgap of the waveguide, depends only on the energy of the qubit; a parameter that is easy to tune in many artificial atoms. In contrast to previous proposals that have either shown imperfect chirality or fixed directionality, our waveguide QED scheme achieves both perfect chirality and the capability to switch the directionality on demand with just one tunable element in the device. We also show that our model is easy to implement in both state-of-the-art superconducting circuit and quantum dot architectures. The results show technological promise in creating long-range couplers between qubits while maintaining, in principle, zero crosstalk.

  Quantum correlations between distant particles remain enigmatic since the birth of quantum mechanics. We predict a novel kind of bound quantum state in the simplest one-dimensional setup of two interacting particles in a box. Such states could be realized in the waveguide quantum electrodynamics platform.

  Light-matter interaction at the single-quantum level is the heart of many regimes of high fundamental importance to modern quantum technologies. We formulate a unifying theory which under a minimal set of standard approximations accounts for physical boundaries of a system. Our theory can be straightforwardly extended to other waveguides such as the photonic crystal and coupled cavity arrays.

  We propose a method to engineer 1D Josephson microwave waveguide as a chiral metamaterial. We analyze both Markovian and non-Markovian quantum dynamics, and find that superconducting qubits can dissipate photons unidirectionally. Our work might open the possibilities to exploit SQUID metamaterials realizing unidirectional photon transport in circuit-QED platforms.

  Quantum electrodynamics studies qubits coupled to a mode continuum, exposing them to a loss channel and causing quantum information to be lost before coherent operations can be performed. Here we restore coherence by realizing a dark state that exploits symmetry properties and interactions between four qubits. Our experiment paves the way for implementations of quantum many-body physics in waveguides and the realization of quantum information protocols using decoherence-free subspaces.

  We show that the simplest set-up of two qubits, harmonically trapped over an optical waveguide, enables the ultrastrong coupling regime of the quantum optomechanical interaction. The combination of the inherent open nature of the system and the strong optomechanical coupling leads to emerging parity-time (PT) symmetry. The $mathcalPT$ phase transition drives long-living subradiant states, observable in the state-of-the-art waveguide QED setups.
