Frustration-induced anomalous transport and strong photon decay in waveguide QED

We study the propagation of photons in a one-dimensional environment consisting of two noninteracting species of photons frustratingly coupled to a single spin 1/2. The ultrastrong frustrated coupling leads to an extreme mixing of the light and matter degrees of freedom, resulting in the disintegrat...
