• Abstract: We examine quantum statistical properties of transmission and reflection from a chiral waveguide coupled to qubits for arbitrary input powers. We report on several remarkable features of output fields such as transparency, quantum nonreciprocity and the second-order correlation function $g^{(2)}(0)$ values less than unity. In particular, for two qubits detuned antisymmetrically with respect to the central waveguide frequency, we find transparency in forward transmission and in photon numbers for arbitrary values of the input powers provided the phase separation between qubits is an integer multiple of $\pi$. Values of $g^{(2)}(0)$ less than unity can be reached even for nonzero value of the intrinsic damping by using phase separation different from integer multiple of $\pi$, marking the transition from classical to quantum light. We also uncover a new type of quantum criticality that enables complete suppression of forward-propagating amplitude transmission at specific driving powers, giving rise to enhanced nonreciprocal effects in both transmission and quantum fluctuations in amplitudes. Forward propagation amplifies the quantum fluctuations in amplitudes, while backward propagation significantly suppresses them. These findings open new pathways for controlling light-matter interactions in chiral quantum electrodynamics, with potential applications in quantum information and nonreciprocal quantum devices.

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

  Quantum electrodynamics studies qubits coupled to a mode continuum, exposing them to a loss channel and causing quantum information to be lost before coherent operations can be performed. Here we restore coherence by realizing a dark state that exploits symmetry properties and interactions between four qubits.

  We introduce a protocol to transfer excitations between two noninteracting qubits via purely dissipative processes. The fundamental ingredients are the presence of collective (i.e. nonlocal) dissipation and unbalanced local dissipation rates. The resulting quantum trajectories show that the measurement backaction changes the system wave function.
