contents We theoretically study the single photon transport properties in periodic and position-disordered Jaynes-Cummings (or JC) arrays of waveguide-coupled microtoroidal ring resonators, each interacting with a single two-level quantum emitter. Employing the real-space formalism of quantum optics, we focus on various parameter regimes of cavity quantum electrodynamics (cQED) to gain better control of single photon propagation in such a many-body quantum optical setting. As for some of the key findings, we observe that the periodic setting leads to the formation of the band structure in the photon transmission spectra, which is most evident in the strong coupling regime of cQCD. However, under the resonant conditions with no losses, the application of Bloch's theorem indicates that the width of forbidden gaps can be altered by tuning the emitter-cavity coupling to small values. Moreover, in the disordered case, we find that the single photon transmission curves show the disappearance of band formation. However, spectral features originating from cQED interactions observed for single atom-cavity problem remain robust against weak-disordered conditions. The results of this work may find application in the study of quantum many-body effects in the optical domain as well as in different areas of quantum computation and quantum networking.
