• Abstract: In this work, we investigate the non-Markovian dynamical evolution of a ${\Lambda}$-type atom interacting with a semi-infinite one-dimensional photonic waveguide via two atomic transitions. The waveguide terminates at a perfect mirror, which reflects the light and introduces boundary effects. We derive exact analytical expressions and show that, under suitable conditions, the instantaneous and retarded decay rates reach equilibrium, leading to the formation of an atom-photon bound state that suppresses dissipation. Consequently, the atom retains a long-lived population in the asymptotic time limit. Furthermore, we analyze the output field intensity and demonstrate that blocking one of the coupling channels forces the atomic system to emit photons of a single frequency. Finally, we extend the model to a two-atom system and examine the disentanglement dynamics of the two spatially separated atoms. These findings elucidate the dynamic process of spontaneous emission involving multi-frequency photons from multi-level atoms and provide insights into the complex interference between different decay pathways.

  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.

The parameters of the input pulse are optimized to maximize the efficiency of three- and four-partite W-state production.

We show that it is modulated in time, and that the presence of the oscillating mirror can enhance or inhibit the decay rate.

  In spite of particle losses the quantum entanglement propagation exhibits a ballistic character with propagation speeds related to the differerent quasiparticles that are involved in the dynamics. Our analysis reveals that photon dissipation has a strikingly asymmetric behavior in the two configurations with a much more dramatic role on the holon entanglement propagation than for the doublon case.
