• Abstract summary: We study the non-Markovian dynamics of a two-level giant atom interacting with a one-dimensional semi-infinite waveguide. We find that three different types of bound states can be formed in the system. We extend the system to a more general case involving many giant atoms coupled into a one-dimensional semi-infinite waveguide.

• Abstract: We study the non-Markovian dynamics of a two-level giant atom interacting with a one-dimensional semi-infinite waveguide through multiple coupling points, where a perfect mirror is located at the endpoint of the waveguide. The system enters a non-Markovian process when the travel time of the photon between adjacent coupling points is sufficiently large compared to the inverse of the bare relaxation rate of the giant atom. The photon released by the spontaneous emission of the atom transfers between multiple coupling points through the waveguide or is reabsorbed by the atom with the photon emitted via the atom having completed the round trip after reflection of the mirror, which leads to the photon being trapped and forming bound states. We find that three different types of bound states can be formed in the system, containing the static bound states with no inversion of population, the periodic equal amplitude oscillation with two bound states, and the periodic non-equal amplitude oscillation with three bound states. The physical origins of three bound states formation are revealed. Moreover, we consider the influences of the dissipation of unwanted modes and dephasing on the bound states. Finally, we extend the system to a more general case involving many giant atoms coupled into a one-dimensional semi-infinite waveguide. The obtained set of delay differential equations for the giant atoms might open a way to better understand the non-Markovian dynamics of many giant atoms coupled to a semi-infinite waveguide.

  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.
