The characteristics of spontaneous emission can be strongly modified by the mode structure of the vacuum. In waveguide quantum-electrodynamics based on photonic crystals, this modification is exploited to engineer atom-photon interactions near a band edge, but the physics of coupling to an entire band has not yet been explored in experiments. Here, we study the decay dynamics of an array of matter-wave quantum emitters coupled to a single band of an effective photonic crystal waveguide…

Undamped Rabi oscillations due to polaron-emitter hybrid states in a nonlinear photonic waveguide coupled to emitters
The collective dynamics of two non-interacting two-level emitters, which are coupled to a structured wave guide that supports two-photon bound states, is investigated. Tuning the energy of the two…

We propose a novel quantum electrodynamics (QED) platform where quantum emitters interact with a Hofstadter-ladder waveguide. We demonstrate several intriguing phenomena stemming from the nontrivial…

Spontaneous emission of matter waves from a tunable open quantum system
TLDR
This work demonstrates similar behaviour in a system of artificial emitters, realized using ultracold atoms in an optical lattice, which decay by emitting matter-wave, rather than optical, radiation into free space.
Markovian and non-Markovian dynamics of quantum emitters coupled to two-dimensional structured reservoirs
The interaction of quantum emitters with structured baths modifies both their individual and collective dynamics. In Gonz\'alez-Tudela \emph{et al} we show how exotic quantum dynamics emerge when QEs…
Photon localization versus population trapping in a coupled-cavity array
We consider a coupled-cavity array (CCA), where one cavity interacts with a two-level atom under the rotating-wave approximation. We investigate the excitation transport dynamics across the array,…
