We present the model that two-level system (TLS) nonlocally interacts with one-dimensional coupled-resonator array (CRA). The coherent transport of single-photon inside CRA is well controlled by the state of TLS, which functions as quantum switch. Spin up and spin down correspond to switch on and switch off respectively, or vice versa, which originate from the constructive interference and the destructive interference of two coupling paths. We improve the fidelity of quantum switch by preadjusting the frequency of resonators which couple to TLS. Quantum switch realizes quantum beam splitter when TLS is in the superposition state. The single-photon wave packet would entangle with qubit and propagate to the remote resonators.

Taking nonlinear effect into account, we study theoretically the transmission properties of photons in a one-dimensional coupled cavity, the cavity located at the center of the cavity array being coupled to a two-level system. By using the traditional scattering theory and the mean-field approximation, we calculate the transmission rate of photons along the cavities, and discuss the effect of nonlinearity and the cavity-atom coupling on the photon transport. The results show that the cavity-atom couplings affect the coherent transport of photons. The dynamics of such a system is also studied by numerical simulations, the effect of the atom-field detuning and nonlinearity on the dynamics is shown and discussed.
