The interaction between the quantum emitter and topological photonic system makes the photon behave in exotic ways. We here study the properties of a giant atom coupled to two sites of a one-dimensional topological waveguide, which is described by the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chain. We find that the giant atom can act as an effective boundary and induce the chiral zero modes, which are similar to those in the SSH model with open boundary, for the waveguide under the periodical boundary. Except for the boundary effect, we also find that the giant atom can lift energy degeneracy inside the energy bands of the SSH chain and adjust spatial symmetry of the photon distributions for the states of the dressed giant atom and waveguide. That is, the giant atom can be used to change the properties of the topological environment. Our work may stimulate more studies on the interaction between matter and topological environment.

We study a system made up of one or two two-level quantum emitters, coupled to a single transverse mode of a closed waveguide, in which photon wavenumbers and frequencies are discretized, and characterize the stable states in which one excitation is
steadily shared between the field and the emitters. We unearth finite-size effects in the field-emitter interactions and identify a family of dressed states, that represent the forerunners of bound states in the continuum in the limit of an infinite waveguide. We finally consider the potential interest of such states for applications in the field of quantum information.
The nonlocal emitter-waveguide coupling, which gives birth to the so called giant atom, represents a new paradigm in the field of quantum optics and waveguide QED. In this paper, we investigate the single-photon scattering in a one-dimensional wavegu
ide on a two-level or three-level giant atom. Thanks to the natural interference induced by the back and forth photon transmitted/reflected at the atom-waveguide coupling points, the photon transmission can be dynamically controlled by the periodic phase modulation via adjusting the size of the giant atom. For the two-level giant-atom setup, we demonstrate the energy shift which is dependent on the atomic size. For the driven three-level giant-atom setup, it is of great interest that, the interference effect between different atomic transition paths, can lead to a complete transmission window, analogous to the electromagnetically induced transparency and beyond the two-photon resonance mechanism, and the width of the transmission valleys (reflection range) is tunable in terms of the atomic size. Our investigation will be beneficial to the photon or phonon control in quantum network based on mesoscopical or even macroscopical quantum nodes involving the giant atom.
Tailoring the interactions between quantum emitters and single photons constitutes one of the cornerstones of quantum optics. Coupling a quantum emitter to the band edge of a photonic crystal waveguide (PCW) provides a unique platform for tuning thes
e interactions. In particular, the crossover from propagating fields $E(x) propto e^{pm ik_x x}$ outside the bandgap to localized fields $E(x) propto e^{-kappa_x |x|}$ within the bandgap should be accompanied by a transition from largely dissipative atom-atom interactions to a regime where dispersive atom-atom interactions are dominant. Here, we experimentally observe this transition for the first time by shifting the band edge frequency of the PCW relative to the $rm D_1$ line of atomic cesium for $bar{N}=3.0pm 0.5$ atoms trapped along the PCW. Our results are the initial demonstration of this new paradigm for coherent atom-atom interactions with low dissipation into the guided mode.
Quantum mechanical treatment of light inside dielectric media is important to understand the behavior of an optical system. In this paper, a two-level atom embedded in a rectangular waveguide surrounded by a perfect electric conductor is considered.
Spontaneous emission, propagation, and detection of a photon are described by the second quantization formalism. The quantized modes for light are divided into two types: photonic propagating modes and localized modes with exponential decay along the direction of waveguide. Though spontaneous emission depends on all possible modes including the localized modes, detection far from the source only depends on the propagating modes. This discrepancy of dynamical behaviors gives two different decay rates along space and time in the correlation function of the photon detection.
We study the spontaneous emission (SE) of an excited two-level nonrelativistic system (TLS) interacting with the vacuum in a waveguide of rectangular cross section. All TLSs transitions and the center-of-mass motion of the TLS are taken into account.
The SE rate and the carried frequency of the emitted photon for the TLS initial being at rest is obtained, it is found in the first order of the center of mass (c.m.) that the frequency of the emitted photon could be smaller or larger than the transition frequency of the TLS but the SE rate is smaller than the SE rate $Gamma_{f}$ of the TLS fixed in the same waveguide. The SE rate and the carried frequency of the emitted photon for the TLS initial being moving is also obtained in the first order of the c.m.. The SE rate is larger than $Gamma_{f}$ but it is independent of the initial momentum. The carried frequency of the emitted photon is creased when it travels along the direction of the initial momentum and is decreased when it travels in the opposite direction of the initial momentum.
