Selective high-order topological states and tunable chiral emission in atomic metasurfaces

Yi-Xin Wang, Yan Zhang, Lei Du +2

Atomic metasurfaces (AMs) provide a powerful nanophotonic platform for integrating topological effects into quantum many-body systems. In this Letter, we investigate the quantum op…

Single-photon manipulations based on optically-controlled chiral couplings in waveguide structures of Rydberg giant atoms

Yao-Tong Chen, Lei Du, Zhihai Wang +3

Two interacting Rydberg atoms coupled to a waveguide realize a giant-atom platform that exhibits the controllable (phase-dependent) chirality where the direction of nonreciprocal p…

Chiral phase modulation and tunable broadband perfect absorber using the coherent cold atomic ensemble

Yi-Xin Wang, Yan Zhang, Lei Du +1

We investigate the two-channel nonreciprocal scattering of a coherent atomic ensemble under the linear spatial Kramers-Kronig modulation, which has potential applications in chiral…

Giant-Atom Effects on Population and Entanglement Dynamics of Rydberg Atoms

Yao-Tong Chen, Lei Du, Yan Zhang +4

Giant atoms are attracting interest as an emerging paradigm in the quantum optics of engineered waveguides. Here we propose to realize a synthetic giant atom working in the optical…

Decay dynamics of a giant atom in a structured bath with broken time-reversal symmetry

Lei Du, Yao-Tong Chen, Yan Zhang +2

We study in this paper the decay dynamics of a two-level giant atom, which is coupled to a quasi-one-dimensional sawtooth lattice exposed to uniform synthetic magnetic fluxes. In t…

Light transfer transitions beyond higher-order exceptional points in parity-time and anti-parity-time symmetric waveguide arrays

Chuanxun Du, Gang Wang, Yan Zhang +1

We propose two non-Hermitian arrays consisting of waveguides and exhibiting parity-time () or anti- symmetry for investigating light transfer d…

Quantum transport in nonlinear Rudner-Levitov models

Lei Du, Jin-Hui Wu, M. Artoni +1

Quantum transport in a class of nonlinear extensions of the Rudner-Levitov model is numerically studied in this paper. We show that the quantization of the mean displacement, which…

Giant Atoms in a Synthetic Frequency Dimension

Lei Du, Yan Zhang, Jin-Hui Wu +2

Giant atoms that interact with real-space waveguides at multiple spatial points have attracted extensive attention due to their unique interference effects. Here we propose a feasi…

Ground-state blockade of Rydberg atoms and application in entanglement generation

X. Q. Shao, D. X. Li, Y. Q. Ji +2

We propose a mechanism of ground-state blockade between two -type Rydberg atoms in virtue of Rydberg-antiblockade effect and Raman transition. Inspired by the quantum Zeno effec…

Tunable multi-channel inverse optomechanically induced transparency

Qin Wu, Jian-Qi Zhang, Jin-Hui Wu +2

In contrast to the optomechanically induced transparency (OMIT) defined conventionally, the inverse OMIT behaves as coherent absorption of the input lights in the optomechanical sy…
