• Abstract summary: We consider giant atoms coupled to a one-dimensional topological waveguide reservoir. In the bandgap regime, where the giant-atom frequency lies outside the band, we study the generation and distribution of giant atom-photon bound states. In the band regime, the giant-atom frequency lies in the band, under the Born-Markov approximation, we obtained effective coherence and correlated dissipative interactions.

• Abstract: In this paper, we consider giant atoms coupled to a one-dimensional topological waveguide reservoir. We studied the following two cases. In the bandgap regime, where the giant-atom frequency lies outside the band, we study the generation and distribution of giant atom-photon bound states and the difference between the topological waveguide in topological and trivial phases. When the strengths of the giant atoms coupled to the two sub-lattice points are equal, the photons distribution is symmetrical and the chiral photon distribution is exhibited when the coupling is different. The coherent interactions between giant atoms are induced by virtual photons, or can be understood as an overlap of photon bound-state wave functions, and decay exponentially with increasing distance between the giant atoms. We also find that the coherent interactions induced by the topological phase are larger than those induced by the trivial phase for the same bandgap width. In the band regime, the giant-atom frequency lies in the band, under the Born-Markov approximation, we obtained effective coherence and correlated dissipative interactions between the giant atoms mediated by topological waveguide reservoirs, which depend on the giant-atom coupling nodes. We analyze the effect of the form of the giant-atom coupling point on the decay, and on the associated dissipation. The results show that we can design the coupling form as well as the frequency of the giant atoms to achieve zero decay and correlation dissipation and non-zero coherent interactions. Finally we used this scheme to realize the excitation transfer of giant atoms. Our work will promote the study of topological matter coupled to giant atoms.

  We study the non-Markovian dynamics of a two-level giant atom interacting with a one-dimensional semi-infinite waveguide.

  We show how photon-mediated interactions give rise to a plaquette-ordered bond pattern in the atomic ground state. The pattern opens a non-trivial topological gap in 2D, resulting in a higher-order topological phase hosting corner states. Our work shows how atomic quantum simulators can be harnessed to investigate novel strongly-correlated topological phenomena.

We find and characterize regimes of Raman lasing, akin to the model of a superradiant laser.
