Nanophotonics meets Quantum Optics

Arno Rauschenbeutel (U Mainz) & Vahid Sandoghdar (ETH Zürich)


The coupling of light and matter in the quantum regime using micro- and nanophotonics components is a highly dynamic and exciting field of research. Possible applications in fundamental science and in technology range from sensing, optical filters, optical switches, and non-linear optics to quantum communication, quantum simulation, and quantum information processing. Some examples of various physical systems that are being explored, both experimentally and theoretically, include cavity quantum electrodynamics (using Fabry-Pérot microresonators, whispering-gallery-mode microresonators, and photonic crystal cavities), strong coupling without cavities (using waveguides, near-fields, and tight focusing), as well as cavity optomechanics.
The objective of the school is to gather world-renowned experts in these fields and to bring them into contact with highly motivated students. The courses are intended for advanced students at the Diplom/M.Sc. level and for PhD students. They will start at an introductory level and lead up to problems of current research. In addition to the lectures, ample time is reserved for informal meetings in order to exchange ideas, to investigate new directions, and to establish cross connections between the various fields and theoretical vistas.
