| 402-0466-15L | Quantum Optics with Photonic Crystals, Plasmonics and Metamaterials | 6 credits | 2V + 1U | G. Scalari | |
| Abstract | In this lecture, we would like to review new developments in the emerging topic of quantum optics in very strongly confined structures, with an emphasis on sources and photon statistics as well as the coupling between optical and mechanical degrees of freedom. | ||||
