Quantum Photonics: Pioneering Advances and Emerging Applications, 1st ed. 2019 Springer Series in Optical Sciences Series, Vol. 217
Coordonnateurs : Boyd Robert W., Lukishova Svetlana G., Zadkov Victor N.
This book brings together reviews by internationally renowed experts on quantum optics and photonics. It describes novel experiments at the limit of single photons, and presents advances in this emerging research area. It also includes reprints and historical descriptions of some of the first pioneering experiments at a single-photon level and nonlinear optics, performed before the inception of lasers and modern light detectors, often with the human eye serving as a single-photon detector. The book comprises 19 chapters, 10 of which describe modern quantum photonics results, including single-photon sources, direct measurement of the photon's spatial wave function, nonlinear interactions and non-classical light, nanophotonics for room-temperature single-photon sources, time-multiplexed methods for optical quantum information processing, the role of photon statistics in visual perception, light-by-light coherent control using metamaterials, nonlinear nanoplasmonics, nonlinear polarization optics, and ultrafast nonlinear optics in the mid-infrared.
Prof. Svetlana G. Lukishova is a Group Leader at the Institute of Optics, University of Rochester. Earlier she worked in Moscow, Russia at the I.V. Kurchatov Nuclear Power Institute and the Institute of Radioengineering and Electronics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and after moving to the USA, at Liquid Crystal Institute (Kent, OH). She served six years as the Topical/Associate Editor of the journal “Optics Lette
