Nano-Quantum Optics — •Vahid Sandoghdar1,2 and Stephan Götzinger1,2 — 1Max-Planck-Institut für die Physik des Lichts, Erlangen — 2Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg
The interaction of light and matter at the nanometer scale lies at the heart of quantum optics because it concerns elementary processes such as absorption or emission of a photon by an atom. These phenomena were studied with ensembles of light and material particles in the 20th century. However, controlled and efficient experiments with single photons and single quantum emitters have only recently become accessible. This advance owes much to the progress in the field of nano-optics, where the interaction of individual quantum emitters such as molecules, quantum dots or color centers with their nanoscopic environment can be tailored. In this poster presentation, we provide an overview of the exciting field of nano-quantum optics and its promise for engineering new quantum states of light and matter.
