摘要/Abstract

摘要： The phase-controlled single-photon transport properties of a giant atom coupled to a one-dimensional waveguide are investigated. The coupling between the giant atom and the waveguide is modeled as a multi-point interaction. The coupling strengths between the giant atom and the waveguide are represented as complex numbers with associated phases. Analytical expressions for the scattering amplitudes are obtained using the real-space Hamiltonian method. The results show that the characteristics of the scattering spectra, including the positions of peaks (or dips) and the full width at half maximum, can be tuned by adjusting the phase difference between the coupling strengths. Further calculations reveal that the scattering spectra can be either super-broadened or sub-broadened. The conditions for achieving perfect nonreciprocal single-photon transport in the Markovian regime are also discussed. Moreover, we demonstrate the control of single-photon transport through phase differences in the non-Markovian regime. Our results may find applications in the design of quantum devices operating at the single-photon level, based on waveguide quantum electrodynamics.
