• Abstract: Waveguide quantum electrodynamics (wQED) with giant atoms provides a distinctive opportunity to study one-dimensional (1D) coupled spin systems through its unique decoherence-free interactions. This study presents a theoretical framework for simulating the diagonal Aubry-Andr\'e-Harper (AAH) model in the context of giant-atom wQED. The proposed scheme employs photonic modes in the waveguide to not only mediate interactions between atoms but also to detect the energy spectrum of the atom array. To illustrate the effectiveness of this approach, we present a simulation of the Hofstadter butterfly spectrum with high precision. Furthermore, for an incommensurate AAH atomic chain, we demonstrate that the photon transmission spectrum can accurately distinguish between the many-body localized phase and the extended phase. The method presented here is also applicable to the simulation of other types of 1D atomic chains based on giant-atom wQED.

  We study theoretically an array of two-level qubits moving relative to a one-dimensional waveguide. When the frequency of this motion approaches twice the qubit resonance frequency, it induces parametric generation of photons and excitation of the qubits. We develop a comprehensive general theoretical framework that incorporates both perturbative diagrammatic techniques and a rigorous master-equation approach.

  We study single-photon scattering in a Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) waveguide coupled to either one or two two-level giant atoms. We find that a single photon in the SSH waveguide can be completely reflected or transmitted by choosing proper coupling configurations. This work will inspire the development of controllable single-photon devices based on the giant-atom topological-waveguide-QED systems.

  We investigate coherent single-photon transport in a waveguide quantum electrodynamics system containing multiple giant atoms. We find that the non-dipole effects of giant atoms can strongly manipulate several types of collective properties of the output fields. We propose to probe the topological states of a chain of braided giant atoms by using photon scattering spectra.

• Excitation spectrum of a multilevel atom coupled with a dielectric nanostructure [0.0]
  We calculate the excitation spectrum of a single-electron atom localized near a dielectric nanostructure. In particular, the strong resonance interaction between atom(s) and light, propagating through a photonic crystal waveguide, justifies as realistic the scenario of a signal light coupling with a small atomic array consisting of a few atoms. As a potential implication, the directional one-dimensional resonance scattering, expected in such systems, could provide a quantum bus by entangling distant atoms integrated into a quantum register.
