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…

Giant atoms with time-dependent couplings

Lei Du, Yao-Tong Chen, Yan Zhang +1

We study the decay dynamics of a two-level giant atom that is coupled to a waveguide with time-dependent coupling strengths. In the non-Markovian regime where the retardation effec…

Spatial Kramers-Kronig relation and unidirectional light reflection induced by Rydberg dipole-dipole interactions

Di-Di Zheng, Yan Zhang, Yi-Mou Liu +2

Kramers-Kronig (KK) relation between the dispersion and absorption responses of a signal field can be mapped from the frequency domain into the space domain via the dipole-dipole i…

Perfect Transfer of enhanced entanglement and asymmetric steering in a cavity magnomechanical system

Yao-Tong Chen, Lei Du, Yan Zhang +1

We propose a hybrid cavity magnomechanical system to realize and transfer the bipartite entanglements and Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steerings between magnons, photons, and phon…

Spatial Kramers-Kronig relation and controlled unidirectional reflection in cold atoms

Yan Zhang, Jin-Hui Wu, M. Artoni +1

We propose a model for realizing frequency-dependent spatial variations of the probe susceptibility in a cold atomic sample. It is found that the usual Kramers-Kronig (KK) relation…

Controllable unidirectional transport and photon storage in an one-dimensional lattice with complex hopping rates

Lei Du, Yan Zhang

We study an one-dimensional non-Hermitian lattice with complex hopping rates, which can be realized by a quasi-one-dimensional sawtooth-type Hermitian lattice after adiabatic elimi…

All-optical photon transmission switching in a passive-active optomechanical system

Lei Du, Yi-Mou Liu, Yan Zhang +1

We propose a feasible scheme to realize all-optical photon transmission switching in a passiveactive optomechanical system, consisting of one ordinary passive cavity, one active ca…
