In this article, we review the principles of macroscopic quantum electrodynamics and
discuss a variety of applications of this theory to medium-assisted atom-field coupling and …

Periodic nanostructures in photonics facilitate a far-reaching control of light propagation and
light–matter interaction. This article reviews the current status of this subject, including both …

We investigate a system consisting of a single, as well as two emitters strongly coupled to
surface plasmon modes of a nanowire using a Green's function approach. Explicit …

Plasmon-enhanced Raman scattering can push single-molecule vibrational spectroscopy
beyond a regime addressable by classical electrodynamics. We employ a quantum …

An anisotropic quantum vacuum (AQV) opens novel pathways for controlling light-matter
interaction in quantum optics, condensed matter physics, etc. Here, we theoretically …

We present a quantum theory for the interaction of a two-level emitter with surface plasmon
polaritons confined in single-mode waveguide resonators. Based on the Green's function …

We investigate the quantum optical properties of a quantum-dot dipole emitter coupled to a
finite-size metal nanoparticle using a photon Green-function technique that rigorously …

Long-range resonance energy transfer (RET) and the control of energy transfer on the
nanoscale have received considerable attention both experimentally and theoretically …

Within the frame of macroscopic QED in linear, causal media, we study the radiation force of
Casimir-Polder type acting on an atom which is positioned near dispersing and absorbing …

Left-handed metamaterials make perfect lenses that image classical electromagnetic fields
with significantly higher resolution than the diffraction limit. Here, we consider the quantum …
