• Abstract: Multi-photon dynamics beyond linear optical materials are of significant fundamental and technological importance in quantum information processing. However, it remains largely unexplored in nonlinear waveguide QED. In this work, we theoretically propose a structured nonlinear waveguide in the presence of staggered photon-photon interactions, which supports two branches of gaped bands for doublons (i.e., spatially bound-photon-pair states). In contrast to linear waveguide QED systems, we identify two important contributions to its dynamical evolution, i.e., single-photon bound states (SPBSs) and doublon bound states (DBSs). Most remarkably, the nonlinear waveguide can mediate the long-range four-body interactions between two emitter pairs, even in the presence of disturbance from SPBS. By appropriately designing system's parameters, we can achieve high-fidelity four-body Rabi oscillations mediated only by virtual doublons in DBSs. Our findings pave the way for applying structured nonlinear waveguide QED in multi-body quantum information processing and quantum simulations among remote sites.

  We propose a scheme for implementing single-photon routers in a waveguide-QED system. We obtain the exact analytical expressions of the single-photon scattering amplitudes using the real-space method. We find that when the system works in the non-Markovian regime, the single photon can be transmitted on demand by adjusting the asymmetry coefficient.

  We study theoretically an array of two-level qubits moving relative to a one-dimensional waveguide.

We develop a comprehensive general theoretical framework that incorporates both perturbative diagrammatic techniques and a rigorous master-equation approach.

  We design a passive conditional gate between co-propagating photons using an array of only two-level emitters. The key resource is to harness the effective photon-photon interaction induced by the chiral coupling of the emitter array to two waveguide modes. We show how to harness this non-linear phase shift to engineer a conditional, deterministic photonic gate in different qubit encodings.

  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. We show that the proposed setup can provide directional quantum many-body resources, and can be configured as a building block for a chiral quantum network with correlated flying qubits'' Our findings point toward a rich landscape of tailoring multiphoton propagation and correlation properties by exploiting interference effects of giant emitters coupling to nonlinear photonic baths.

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.
