• Title: Quantum interference and controllable magic cavity QED via a giant atom in coupled resonator waveguide
• Authors: Xiaojun Zhang, Chengge Liu, Zhirui Gong, and Zhihai Wang
• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: 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. Under certain conditions, we find that the giant atom population can exhibit an oscillating behavior and the photon can be trapped in the giant atom regime. These phenomena are induced by the interference effect among the bound states both in and outside the continuum. As an application of the photon trapping, we theoretically propose a magic cavity model where the giant atom serve as either a perfect or leaky cavity, depending on the distance between the coupling sites. The controllability of the magic cavity from perfect to leaky one can not be realized in the traditional cavity or circuit QED setup. 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 in a structured environment.

  We find the controllable BIC in an artificial giant atom-dressed one-dimensional photonic waveguide. We predict the quantum beats in the atomic and photonic dynamical evolution, which is induced by the oscillation between the BIC and bound state outside the continuum. These findings provide an approach to manipulate the waveguide system via the bound states, and can be applied in the quantum information processing.

We experimentally observe the parity symmetry breaking of an ancillary Xmon artificial atom induced by the field of a lumped-element superconducting resonator. This result opens a way to experimentally explore the novel quantum-vacuum effects emerging in the deep-strong coupling regime.

  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.

  We investigate the dynamics of giant atom(s) in a waveguide QED scenario, where the atom couples to the coupled resonator waveguide via two sites. For a single giant atom setup, we find that the atomic dissipation rate can be adjusted by tuning its size. We can theoretically realize the robust entangled state preparation and non-reciprocal excitation evolution.
