Oscillating bound states for a giant atom
Lingzhen Guo, Anton Frisk Kockum, Florian Marquardt, Göran Johansson
Abstract
The authors show that oscillating bound states in the continuum exist for a non-Markovian giant atom coupled to an infinite waveguide at three or more points The bound state is confined in a finite region of the waveguide and exchanges energy with the giant atom persistently despite the presence of the dissipative environment
