Popis: We study non-Markovian enhancement effects in the spontaneous emission of a collective excitation in a linear chain of up to 100 qubits coupled to a 1D waveguide. We find that for a critical separation of qubits, the system exhibits super-superradiant (SSR) behavior leading to collective decay stronger than the usual Dicke superradiance. Here, time-delayed coherent quantum feedback effects are at play on top of the usual Dicke superradiance effects. We find a linear scaling for the SSR decay rate with increasing qubit number $N$ such that $\Gamma_{\rm SSR} \sim 2.277 N \gamma_0$, where $\gamma_0$ is the single emitter decay rate to a one-dimensional waveguide, as opposed to $\Gamma_{\rm Dicke}\sim N \gamma_0$ for Dicke superradiance. The SSR decay rate can be tuned with qubit separation distance and may therefore have application for quantum technologies.
