More Details: Coherent long-range interactions between atoms are a prerequisite for numerous applications in the field of quantum information science, but they usually decrease exponentially with the increase in atomic separation. Here we present an appealing method to dramatically enhance the long-range atom-atom interaction mediated by a coupled-cavity array that is subjected to two-photon (parametric) drives. Our method allows one to greatly amplify both the localization length of the single-photon bound-state wavefunction and the effective atom-photon coupling strength, resulting in a significant improvement of photon-mediated coherent interaction between two distant atoms. Additionally, we illustrate this effect by analyzing how it facilitates the transfer of information and the creation of entanglement between the atoms.
