Abstract
We theoretically investigate measurement-based feedback control of a laser-driven one-dimensional atomic chain interfaced with a nanofiber. The interfacing leads to all-to-all interactions among the atomic emitters and induces chirality, i.e. the directional emission of photons into a preferred guided mode of the nanofiber. In the setting we consider, the measurement of guided light-conducted either by photon counting or through homodyne detection of the photocurrent quadratures-is fed back into the system through a modulation of the driving laser field. We investigate how this feedback scheme allows to control the statistics of the photon counting and the quadratures of the light, as well as the many-body state of the atom chain. In particular, we identify regimes where both the photon counting rate and its fluctuations are dramatically enhanced. Moreover, we find that the action of homodyne detection feedback allows to alter the stationary state of the chain from a pure, dimer state, to a fully mixed one. Our results provide some insights on how to control and engineer dynamics in light-matter networks realizable with state-of-the-art experimental setups.
