Abstract

We study theoretically the second-order correlation function g(2)(t) for photons transmitted through a periodic Bragg-spaced array of superconducting qubits, coupled to a waveguide. We demonstrate that photon bunching and antibunching persist much longer than both radiative and nonradiative lifetimes of a single qubit. Due to the Borrmann effect, that is a strongly non-Markovian collective feature of light-qubit coupling inherent to the Bragg regime, the photon-photon correlations become immune to nonradiative dissipation. This persistence of quantum correlations opens new avenues for enhancing the performance of setups of waveguide quantum electrodynamics.
