We study the collective radiative decay of a system of two two-level emitters coupled to a one-dimensional waveguide in a regime where their separation is comparable to the coherence length of a spontaneously emitted photon. The electromagnetic field propagating in the cavity-like geometry formed by the emitters exerts a retarded backaction on the system leading to strongly non-Markovian dynamics. The collective spontaneous emission rate of the emitters exhibits an enhancement or inhibition beyond the usual Dicke super- and sub-radiance due to a self-consistent coherent time-delayed feedback.

In this work an exactly solvable model of N two-level systems interacting with a single bosonic dephasing reservoir is considered to unravel the role played by collective non-Markovian dephasing. We show that phase estimation with entangled states for this model can exceed the standard quantum limit and demonstrate Heisenberg scaling with the number of atoms for an arbitrary temperature. For a certain class of reservoir densities of states decoherence can be suppressed in the limit of large number of atoms and the Heisenberg limit can be restored for arbitrary interrogation times. We identify the second class of densities when the Heisenberg scaling can be restored for any finite interrogation time. We also find the third class of densities when the standard quantum limit can be exceeded only on the initial stage of dynamics in the Zeno-regime.
We study the laser-driven Dicke model beyond the rotating-wave approximation. For weak coupling of the system to environmental degrees of freedom the dissipative dynamics of the emitter-cavity system is described by the Floquet master equation. Projection of the system evolution onto the emitter degrees of freedom results in non-Markovian behavior. We quantify the non-Markovianity of the resulting emitter dynamics and show that this quantity can be used as an indicator of the dissipative quantum phase transition occurring at high driving amplitudes.
We investigate theoretically the non-Markovian dynamics of a degenerate V-type quantum emitter in the vicinity of a metallic nanosphere, a system that exhibits quantum interference in spontaneous emission due to the anisotropic Purcell effect. We calculate numerically the electromagnetic Greens tensor and employ the effective modes differential equation method for calculating the quantum dynamics of the emitter population, with respect to the resonance frequency and the initial state of the emitter, as well as its distance from the nanosphere. We find that the emitter population evolution varies between a gradually total decay and a partial decay combined with oscillatory population dynamics, depending strongly on the specific values of the above three parameters. Under strong coupling conditions, coherent population trapping can be observed in this system. We compare our exact results with results when the flat continuum approximation for the modified by the metallic nanosphere vacuum is applied. We conclude that the flat continuum approximation is an excellent approximation only when the spectral density of the system under study is characterized by non-overlapping plasmonic resonances.
We construct a large class of completely positive and trace preserving non-Markovian dynamical maps for an open quantum system. These maps arise from a piecewise dynamics characterized by a continuous time evolution interrupted by jumps, randomly distributed in time and described by a quantum channel. The state of the open system is shown to obey a closed evolution equation, given by a master equation with a memory kernel and a inhomogeneous term. The non-Markovianity of the obtained dynamics is explicitly assessed studying the behavior of the distinguishability of two different initial systems states with elapsing time.
We develop a formalism for modelling exact time dynamics in waveguide quantum electrodynamics (QED) using the real-space approach. The formalism does not assume any specific configuration of emitters and allows the study of Markovian dynamics fully analytically and non-Markovian dynamics semi-analytically with a simple numerical integration step. We use the formalism to study subradiance, superradiance and bound states in continuum. We discuss new phenomena such as subdivision of collective decay rates into symmetric and anti-symmetric subsets and non-Markovian superradiance effects that can lead to collective decay stronger than Dicke superradiance. We also discuss possible applications such as pulse-shaping and coherent absorption. We thus broaden the range of applicability of real-space approaches beyond steady-state photon transport.
