Waveguides allow interconnecting systems at long distances with low losses, the most successful example being the optical fiber-based worldwide internet. In quantum optics, one can use waveguides to couple distant quantum emitters via a common electromagnetic mode, a field known as waveguide quantum electrodynamics (wQED). As we test the limits of such systems, standard quantum optical effects must be revisited and revised. In this talk, I will discuss theoretical considerations and physical effects that arise when two distant two-level systems interact through a waveguide. In particular, I will present novel phenomena such as radiation beyond standard superradiance, formation of bound states in the continuum, entanglement-dependent directional emission, and spontaneous entanglement generation.
