- Abstract: We investigate coherent single-photon transport in a waveguide quantum
electrodynamics struc- ture containing multiple giant atoms. The single-photon
scattering amplitudes are solved using a real-space method. The results give
rise to a clear picture of the multi-channel scattering process. In the case of
identical and equally-spaced giant atoms in a separate configuration, we also
use the transfer-matrix method to express the scattering amplitudes in terms of
compact analytical expres- sions, which allow us to conveniently analyze the
properties of the scattering spectra. Based on these theoretical results, we
find that the non-dipole effects of giant atoms, which are relevant to the
design of the setup, can strongly manipulate several types of collective
properties of the output fields, including the superradiant phenomenon, the
multiple Fano interference, and the photonic band gap. This makes it possible
to manipulate the photon transport in a more versatile way than with small
atoms. We also make a proposal to probe the topological states of a chain of
braided giant atoms by using photon scattering spectra, showing that waveguide
quantum electrodynamics systems with giant atoms are ideal platforms to merge
topological physics and on-chip quantum optics.

Spontaneous emission is a fundamental out-of-equilibrium process in which an excited quantum emitter relaxes to the ground state due to quantum fluctuations.
One way to modify these photon-mediated interactions is to alter the dipole radiation patterns of the emitter, e.g., by placing photonic crystals near them.
Our study delves into the interaction between these directional emission patterns and the aforementioned variables, revealing the untapped potential to fine-tune collective quantum optical phenomena.

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.
