- Abstract: Quantum correlations between distant particles remain enigmatic since the
birth of quantum mechanics. Here we predict a novel kind of bound quantum state
in the simplest one-dimensional setup of two interacting particles in a box.
Paradoxically, two entangled particles become localized at the opposite edges
of the box even though their interactions at large distance should seemingly
play no role. Such states could be realized in the waveguide quantum
electrodynamics platform, where an array of superconducting qubits or cold
atoms is coupled to a waveguide. We demonstrate how long-range
waveguide-mediated couplings enable interaction-induced quantum states
separated by large distances. Similarly to Majorana fermions in the Kitaev
model, such bound state of distant photons is immune to short-range
interactions and could find applications in robust quantum information
processing.

In quantum optics, it is common to assume that atoms are point-like objects compared to the wavelength of the electromagnetic field they interact with.
Previous work has shown that superconducting qubits coupled to a one-dimensional waveguide can behave as such "giant atoms" and then interact through the waveguide without decohering.
Here, we show that this decoherence-free interaction is also possible when the coupling to the waveguide is chiral, i.e., when the coupling depends on the propagation direction of the light.
