講演概要
Waveguide-QED allows one to efficiently couple quantum emitters (e.g., quantum dots and flux qubits) via confined waveguide modes and provides a platform for harnessing the quantum coherence of light. Introducing time-delayed coherent feedback is a proposed method for improving the figures of merit for various quantum protocols. However, quantum feedback manifests in a non-Markovian dynamic that is notoriously difficult to model using traditional approaches in quantum optics (such as Markovian master equations, which fail). I will discuss and exemplify two methods to address this problem [1-4]: (i) a new quantum trajectory discretized-waveguide model, and (ii) matrix product states. These two techniques are quite different in origin, but can be complimentary, and I will highlight their main advantages and disadvantages. Several applications will be shown, including the quantum dynamics and output spectra from 1, 2 and 3 qubit systems, and the roles of off-chip photon decay and qubit pure dephasing on population trapping.
