We study a single-photon band structure in a one-dimensional coupled-resonator optical waveguide that chirally couples to an array of two-level quantum emitters (QEs). The chiral interaction between the resonator mode and the QE can break the time-reversal symmetry without the magneto-optical effect and an external or synthetic magnetic field. As a result, nonreciprocal single-photon edge states, band gaps, and flat bands appear. By using such a chiral QE coupled-resonator optical waveguide…

E engineered directional photonic reservoirs could lead to the development of complex quantum networks that, for example, could simulate novel classes of quantum many-body systems.
All-optical reversible single-photon isolation at room temperature
TLDR
Two regimes are proposed and experimentally demonstrate, using electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) or a Raman transition, for all-optical isolation with warm atoms, which are promising for simpler reconfiguration of high-speed classical and quantum information processing.
