| contents | In waveguide quantum electrodynamics systems, atomic radiation emission is shaped by the photonic environment and collective atom interactions, offering promising applications in quantum technologies. In particular, atom-photon bound states, inhibiting complete spontaneous decay of the atom, can be realized through waveguide dispersion engineering or by utilizing giant atoms. While steady-state bound states are well understood, transient or virtual bound states remain less explored. Here we investigate transient atom-photon bound states, arising from initial atom-photon entanglement, and propose methods to slow down spontaneous atomic decay. |
