講演概要
The study of waveguide-QED systems, where a continuum of quantized field modes is coupled to qubits or
two-level systems, has improved our ability to manipulate quantum light-matter interactions on-chip. Such
interactions are now possible in solid-state waveguide QED (as well as circuit QED), which is an important
field of research in nanophotonics and quantum optics. In this talk, I will discuss some recent theory work
on using a numerically-exact method – matrix product states or MPS – to accurately model quantum light-matter interactions in waveguide QED [1-3]. I will present several applications, including time-delayed
coherent feedback and population trapped states. Next I will show some recent work on the waveguide-qubit
response to few-photon Fock state pulses, which show extremely rich quantum dynamical population effects,
even with just a single photon excitation.
