- Abstract summary: We study the dynamics of a coherent feedback network where two two-level atoms are coupled with a semi-infinite waveguide.
The photons can be emitted into the waveguide via the nonchiral or chiral couplings between the atom and the waveguide.
The photonic state in the waveguide is analyzed in the frequency domain and the spatial domain.

- Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to study the dynamics of a coherent feedback network where two two-level atoms are coupled with a semi-infinite waveguide. In this set-up, the two-level atoms can work as the photon source, and the photons can be emitted into the waveguide via the nonchiral or chiral couplings between the atom and the waveguide, according to whether the coupling strengths between the atoms and different directional propagating modes in the waveguide are identical or not. For the photon emitted by one of the two atoms, it can be reflected by the terminal mirror, or interact with the other atom, and then the photon can re-interact with the former atom. When the two atoms are both initially excited, finally there can be two-photon, one-photon or zero-photon states in the waveguide via the spontaneous emission and feedback interactions, and this is influenced by the locations of the atoms and the chirality of the coupling between the atom and the waveguide. Similarly, if only one of the two atoms is initially excited, there can be zero or one photon in the waveguide. Thus we can control the number of the photons in the waveguide and the atomic states by tuning the feedback loop length and the chiral couplings between the atom and waveguide. The photonic state in the waveguide is analyzed in the frequency domain and the spatial domain, and the transient process of photon emissions can be better understood based on the comprehensive analysis in these two domains.

In this paper, we investigate the single-photon scattering and bound states in a one-dimensional coupled-resonator waveguide.
When the atom couples to the waveguide via two resonators, the single-photon reflection rate is characterized by either Breit-Wigner or Fano line shapes.
We also find a phase transition phenomena for the multi-resonator coupling case, which reveals that the upper bound state only exists when the atom-waveguide coupling strength is above a critical value.
