In the past 20 years, we have reached a broad understanding of many light-driven
phenomena in nanoscale systems. The temporal dynamics of the excited states are instead …

The present status and development of strong-field nano-optics, an emerging field of
nonlinear optics, is discussed. A nonperturbative regime of light-matter interactions is …

The strong fields associated with few-cycle pulses can drive highly nonlinear phenomena,
allowing the direct control of electrons in condensed matter systems. In this context, by …

The tremendous growth of the field of plasmonics in the past twenty years owes much to the
pre-existence of solid theoretical foundations. Rather than calling for the introduction of …

The surface-response formalism (SRF), where quantum surface-response corrections are
incorporated into the classical electromagnetic theory via the Feibelman parameters, serves …

We use time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) within the jellium model to study
the impact of quantum-mechanical effects on the self-interaction Green's function that …

A detailed understanding of the interaction between molecules and plasmonic
nanostructures is important for several exciting developments in (bio) molecular sensing and …

Understanding the differences between photon-induced and plasmon-induced hot electrons
is essential for the construction of devices for plasmonic energy conversion. The mechanism …

The optical response of a system formed by a quantum emitter and a plasmonic gap
nanoantenna is theoretically addressed within the frameworks of classical electrodynamics …

Classical versus quantum plasmons are responsible for the recorded signals in non-contact-
mode versus contact-mode tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) and lead to distinct …
