Abstract

We investigate the dynamics of a giant atom (or atoms) in a waveguide QED scenario, where the atom couples to the coupled resonator waveguide via two sites. For a single-giant-atom setup, we find that the atomic dissipation rate can be adjusted by tuning its size. For the two-giant-atom system, the waveguide will induce the controllable individual and collective dissipation as well as effective interatom coupling. As a result, we can realize theoretically the robust entangled state preparation and nonreciprocal excitation evolution. We hope our study can be applied in quantum information processing based on a photonic and acoustic waveguide setup.

Interaction and entanglement engineering in a driven-giant-atom setup with a coupled resonator waveguide

Mingzhu Weng, Xin Wang, Zhihai Wang

We investigate the coherent interactions mediated by the coupled resonator waveguide between two types of giant atoms. We find that the effective coupling and collective dissipation can be controlled on demand by adjusting the configuration of the giant atoms. As a result, the external driving gives birth to a substantial steady-state entanglement between two giant atoms, which exhibits a Rabi splitting character. In the three-giant-atom setup, we find that the nonzero next neighbor atomic entanglement can surpass the neighbor ones and is able to be adjusted by tuning the driving phase, which serves as an artificial magnetic field. The enhancement of next neighbor atomic entanglement cannot be realized in the small-atom setup. We hope these controllable interactions in giant-atom arrays are useful applications in the quantum information process.

Phase-mediated single-photon scattering and nonreciprocal transmission in a coupled resonator waveguide with a three-level giant atom

Keke Chen, Zhonghua Zhu, Yuqing Zhang +6 more

Abstract We theoretically investigate single-photon scattering and nonreciprocal transmission in a coupled resonator waveguide which is coupled to a driven three-level giant atom via two distant sites. In our system, the local coupling phases are introduced to induce intriguing interference effects. As a result, the phase difference can serve as a sensitive controller for the photon scattering. It is found that the photon scattering properties can be effectively tailored by the size of the giant atom, the driving field and the phase difference. Intriguingly, by carefully tuning the parameters such as the atomic dissipation and the phase difference, a perfect nonreciprocal single-photon transmission can be realized. Additionally, the photon frequency can be adjusted by modulating Rabi frequency of the driving field. These results have significant potential for the development of nonreciprocal optical devices using the giant-atom configuration.

Giant-atom entanglement in waveguide-QED systems including non-Markovian effect

Xian‐Li Yin, Jie‐Qiao Liao

We study the generation of quantum entanglement between two giant atoms coupled to a common one-dimensional waveguide. Here each giant atom interacts with the waveguide at two separate coupling points. Within the Wigner-Weisskopf framework for single coupling points, we obtain the time-delayed quantum master equations governing the evolution of the two giant atoms for three different coupling configurations: separated, braided, and nested couplings. For each coupling configuration, we consider both the Markovian and non-Markovian entanglement dynamics of the giant atoms, which are initially in two different separable states: single- and double-excitation states. Our results show that the generated entanglement depends on the phase shift, time delay, atomic initial state, and the coupling configuration. For the single-excitation initial state, there exists the steady-state entanglement for each coupling in both the Markovian and non-Markovian regimes due to the appearance of the dark state. For the double-excitation initial state, we observe entanglement sudden birth via adjusting the phase shift in both regimes. In particular, the maximally achievable entanglement for the nested coupling is about one order of magnitude larger than those of separate and braided couplings. We also find that the maximal entanglement for these three coupling configurations can be enhanced in the case of small time delays. This work can be utilized for the generation and control of entanglement in quantum networks based on giant-atom waveguide-QED systems, which have wide potential applications in quantum information processing.

Generation of two-giant-atom entanglement in waveguide-QED systems

Xian‐Li Yin, Jie‐Qiao Liao

We study the generation of quantum entanglement between two giant atoms coupled to a one-dimensional waveguide. Since each giant atom interacts with the waveguide at two separate coupling points, there exist three different coupling configurations in the two-atom waveguide system: separated, braided, and nested couplings. Within the Wigner-Weisskopf framework for single coupling points, the quantum master equations governing the evolution of the two giant atoms are obtained. For each coupling configuration, the entanglement dynamics of the two giant atoms is studied, including the cases of two different atomic initial states: single- and double-excitation states. It is shown that the generated entanglement depends on the coupling configuration, phase shift, and atomic initial state. For the single-excitation initial state, there exists steady-state entanglement for these three couplings due to the appearance of the dark state. For the double-excitation initial state, an entanglement sudden birth is observed via adjusting the phase shift. In particular, the maximal entanglement for the nested coupling is about one order of magnitude larger than those of separate and braided couplings. In addition, the influence of the atomic frequency detuning on the entanglement generation is studied. This work can be utilized for the generation and control of atomic entanglement in quantum networks based on giant-atom waveguide-QED systems, which have wide potential applications in quantum information processing.

Bound states and atomic interaction in giant atom waveguide QED with dispersive coupling

Mingzhu Weng, Zhihai Wang

In this paper, we investigate the bound states and the effective interaction between a pair of giant atoms, which couples to the coupled resonator waveguide in a nested configuration. To suppress the harmful individual and collective dissipations to the waveguide, we consider the dispersive coupling scheme, where the frequency of the giant atoms are far away from the propagating band of the waveguide. In our scheme, the atomic interaction can be induced by the overlap between the bound states in the gap. We demonstrate the relative position dependent atomic coupling and explore its application in the state transfer. We find that the transfer fidelity of a superposition state can approach 0.999. Therefore, our scheme is useful for designing robust quantum information processing. • Bound states of giant atom waveguide coupled system are investigated. • The individual and collective dissipations of giant atoms induced by waveguide is completely suppressed. • The quantum state transfer scheme with fidelity approaching 0.999.
