Physical, Chemical, and Related Phenomena to Develop Nano-Optics

Angel Guillermo Bracamonte

Published Feb 18, 2025• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

Optical phenomena, as a part of a branch of physics, are of high interest due to their capacity to generate non-classical light and other related phenomena. 1 To develop optics a multidisciplinary approach should be incorporated where engineering, material chemistry, and physical and chemical phenomena are inter-connected. 2

Light-Matter Interaction : Fundamentals and Applications

J. Weiner

A thorough introduction to atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) science and engineering. Atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) science and engineering stands at the confluence of strong scientific and technological currents in physics, chemistry, and electrical engineering. It seeks ways to expand our ability to use light for many purposes: to observe and manipulate matter at the atomic scale, to use nanostructures to manipulate light at the subwavelength scale, to develop quantum devices, and to control internal molecular motion and modify chemical reactivity with light.

Nanoscale Quantum Optics

Irene D’Amico, Dimitris G. Angelakis, Félix Bussières +9 more

Nanoscale quantum optics explores quantum phenomena in nanophotonics systems for advancing fundamental knowledge in nano and quantum optics and for harnessing the laws of quantum physics in the development of new photonics-based technologies. Here, we review recent progress in the field with emphasis on four main research areas: Generation, detection, manipulation and storage of quantum states of light at the nanoscale, Nonlinearities and ultrafast processes in nanostructured media, Nanoscale quantum coherence, Cooperative effects, correlations and many-body physics tailored by strongly confined optical fields. The focus is both on basic developments and technological implications, especially for what concerns information and communication technology, sensing and metrology, and energy efficiency.

Acceleration beyond the speed of light, a contradiction, and a synthesis of quantum mechanics and special relativity

Both the intuitive (classical) and counter-intuitive (quantum) phenomena/effects of light have attracted layman and educated specialists alike.Optics is one of the oldest subfields of physics and is dedicated to the study of these phenomena.Geometrical optics, also known as ray optics, deals with light phenomena like diffraction, interference, polarisation, etc., for which the ray approximation is not valid, while physical optics, also known as wave optics, deals with these phenomena and more.

Engineering Quantum Optical Matter: Defects, Entanglement, and Chemical Reactivity

Wang, Derek Schawn

The discovery of quantum theory has led to explanations for nearly all physical phenomena from the smallest to largest length scales. In recent decades, as quantum theories have become better understood, scientists and engineers now seek to apply the unique advantages of quantum systems to solve practical problems. The purpose of this dissertation is to engineer quantum light-matter systems, or quantum optical matter, for practical applications by using theoretical and computational methods at the intersection of quantum chemistry and quantum optics. This dissertation consists of three parts. In the first, we design and control a class of quantum optical matter, defects in solid-state materials, that can be used as a nanoscale interface between quantum light and quantum matter degrees of freedom. In the second part, we click together simple and generic systems of quantum optical matter, where the particular features of specific systems like defects in solid-state materials have been abstracted away, to form more complex composite systems. We then show that certain composite systems can emit entangled photons and perform multi-qubit gates on photons with applications in photonic quantum computing. Finally, in the third part, we study another application of quantum optical matter: chemistry. In particular, we propose an explanation for experiments in the field of vibrational polariton chemistry where it has been observed that molecules packed into a cavity with fundamental modes resonant with molecular vibrational resonances exhibit altered chemical reactivity.

From atoms to black holes: with nano-engineering to next-level precision experiments

Stefanie Kroker

Nano-engineering is crucial in realizing compact photonic systems for light routing and conditioning with ever more complex optical functions. It also promises to elevate the precision of experiments in high-precision optical metrology to an unprecedented level, e.g., optical atomic clocks and gravitational wave detectors - the most precise experiments ever developed by humankind. In this contribution, I give an overview of the development and possibilities of nanophotonic devices for applications in precision optical experiments. I explain relevant physical phenomena of light-matter interaction and illustrate the role of material properties in these experiments.
