We investigate the excitation and correlation propagations among a one-dimensional atom chain with exponentially decaying, ideal long-range, and power-law decaying interactions. We show that although a clear light-cone-like structure can appear in both the excitation and correlation propagation patterns under the exponentially decaying interaction, only an obscure light-cone-like structure appears with multi-power-law decaying interaction and surprisingly an inverse light-cone-like structure appears in the ideal long-range interaction case. The extracted excitation and correlation propagation velocities in the ideal long-range interaction case are about one order of magnitude larger than those in the multi-power-law interaction case and about two orders of magnitude larger than those in the short-range interaction case. These results indicate that the waveguide-quantum electrodynamics system with long-range interaction can boost the quantum information transfer speed and is beneficial for building fast quantum network and scalable quantum computer.
