Abstract
Over the last decade, waveguide QED with giant emitters has opened new avenues for applications across quantum information, quantum computation, and quantum optics. In this talk, I will present a natural, yet nontrivial, extension of giant-atom physics to giant artificial molecules—systems of two or more strongly interacting atoms—coupled to a waveguide. I will show how the hybridization of the molecular eigenstates enables new opportunities for quantum science, including the engineering of logical decoherence-free qubits with superdense quantum encoding, chiral quantum optics and chirality discrimination protocols of artificial molecules.
