- Abstract: Nonlocal interactions between photonic waveguide and giant atoms have attracted extensive attentions. Researchers have studied how to optimize and control quantum states via giant atoms. We here study the dynamical scattering of a single-photon wave packet by a giant atom coupled to a two-dimensional photonic waveguide via multiple spatial points. We show that arbitrary target scattering single-photon wave packets can be generated by adjusting the coupling strength between the giant atom and different lattice sites of the waveguide. Furthermore, the dynamical scattering of the wave packets enables us to study the propagating properties of the target scattering wave packets and observe the excitation of giant atoms. Our study provides alternative way for photon state control based on giant atoms.

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.
