• Abstract: We investigate the entanglement dynamics of two giant atoms coupled to a common waveguide. By introducing additional phase modulation at each coupling point, every photon propagation path is jointly controlled by two distinct coupling phases, enabling precise and flexible manipulation of the entanglement evolution. This phase engineering induces destructive interference among different paths, leading to entanglement dynamics in nested giant atoms that become equivalent to those of small atoms, as well as dynamical equivalence between separated and braided configurations. Furthermore, the proposed scheme significantly enhances the robustness of entanglement against variations in the phase shift, offering a practical route to generate stable entanglement and enabling quantum devices with programmable propagation and controllable memory effects.

  We study theoretically an array of two-level qubits moving relative to a one-dimensional waveguide.

  We study the entanglement generation of two giant atoms within a one-dimensional bidirectional-chiral waveguide quantum electrodynamics (QED) system. We find that entanglement can be controlled as needed by either adjusting the phase shift or selecting different configurations. Our scheme can be used for entanglement generation in chiral quantum networks of giant-atom waveguide-QED systems.

  We show that the simplest set-up of two qubits, harmonically trapped over an optical waveguide, enables the ultrastrong coupling regime of the quantum optomechanical interaction. The combination of the inherent open nature of the system and the strong optomechanical coupling leads to emerging parity-time (PT) symmetry. The $mathcalPT$ phase transition drives long-living subradiant states, observable in the state-of-the-art waveguide QED setups.
