- Abstract summary: We study single-photon scattering spectra of a giant atom chirally coupled to a one-dimensional waveguide at multiple connection points.
We show that the transmission spectrum of an incident photon can undergo a transition from complete transmission to total reflection at multiple frequency.
The giant-atom-waveguide system with chiral coupling is a promising candidate for realizing single-photon routers with multiple channels.

- Abstract: We study single-photon scattering spectra of a giant atom chirally coupled to a one-dimensional waveguide at multiple connection points, and examine chirality induced effects in the scattering spectra. We show that the transmission spectra typically possess an anti-Lorentzian lineshape with a nonzero minimum, but by engineering the chirality of the multi-point coupling, the transmission spectrum of an incident photon can undergo a transition from complete transmission to total reflection at multiple frequency ``windows'', where the width of the anti-Lorentzian lineshape for each of the window can be flexibly tuned at a fixed frequency detuning. Moreover, we show that a perfect nonreciprocal photon scattering can be achieved due to the interplay between internal atomic spontaneous emission and the chirally external decay to the waveguide, in contrast to that induced by the non-Markovian retardation effect. We also consider the non-Markovian retardation effect on the scattering spectra, which allows for a photonic band gap even with only two chiral coupling points. The giant-atom-waveguide system with chiral coupling is a promising candidate for realizing single-photon routers with multiple channels.

We propose a setup which combines giant emitters (coupling to light at multiple points separated by wavelength distances) with nonlinear quantum optics and its correlated photons.

system beyond dipole approximation [0.0]
We investigate the single-photon scattering spectra of a giant atom coupled to a one dimensional waveguide via multiple connection points or a continuous coupling region.
We find that under the Markovian limit, the phase decay is detuning-independent, resulting in Lorentzian lineshapes.
In the non-Markovian regime, the accumulated phases become detuning-dependent, giving rise to non-Lorentzian lineshapes.

Entanglement in high-dimensional quantum systems, where one or more degrees of freedom of light are involved, offers increased information capacities and enables new quantum protocols.

We generate highly entangled photon pairs at telecom wavelength that we characterise via two-photon interference and quantum state tomography, achieving near-unity visibilities and fidelities.

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.
