Long persistent anticorrelations in few-qubit arrays

We consider theoretically the mechanisms to realize antibunching between the photons scattered on the array of two-level atoms in a general electromagnetic environment. Our goal is the antibunching that persists for the times much longer than the spontaneous emission lifetime of an individual atom. We identify two mechanisms for such persistent antibunching. The first one is based on subradiant states of the atomic array, and the second one does not require any subradiant states. We provided two specific examples of array parameters with optimized antibunching, based on an array in a free space and an array coupled to a waveguide.

Localized vibrational modes in waveguide quantum optomechanics with spontaneously broken PT symmetry

We study theoretically two vibrating quantum emitters trapped near a one-dimensional waveguide and interacting with propagating photons. We demonstrate, that in the regime of strong optomechanical interaction the light-induced coupling of emitter vibrations can lead to formation of spatially localized vibration modes, exhibiting parity-time (PT ) symmetry breaking. These localized vibrations can be interpreted as topological defects in the quasiclassical energy spectrum.

Waveguide quantum optomechanics: parity-time phase transitions in ultrastrong coupling regime

We develop a rigorous theoretical framework for interaction-induced phenomena in the waveguide quantum electrodynamics (QED) driven by mechanical oscillations of the qubits. Specifically, we predict that the simplest set-up of two qubits, harmonically trapped over an optical waveguide, enables the ultrastrong coupling regime of the quantum optomechanical interaction. Moreover, the combination of the inherent open nature of the system and the strong optomechanical coupling leads to emerging parity-time (\PT) symmetry, quite unexpected for a purely quantum system without artificially engineered gain and loss. The $\mathcal{PT}$ phase transition drives long-living subradiant states, observable in the state-of-the-art waveguide QED setups.
