This Colloquium describes a new paradigm for creating strong quantum interactions of light
and matter by way of single atoms and photons in nanoscopic lattices. Beyond the …

A central goal within quantum optics is to realize efficient, controlled interactions between
photons and atomic media. A fundamental limit in nearly all applications based on such …

Optical nanofibres are increasingly being used in cold atom experiments due to their
versatility and the clear advantages they have when develo** all-fibred systems for …

Based on a formalism that describes atom-light interactions in terms of the classical
electromagnetic Green's function, we study the optical response of atoms and other quantum …

The development of optical nanofibers (ONFs) and the study and control of their optical
properties when coupling atoms to their electromagnetic modes has opened new …

We investigate the creation and control of emergent collective behavior and quantum
correlations using feedback in an emitter-waveguide system using a minimal model …

We study the subradiant collective states of a periodic chain of two-level atoms with either
transversal or longitudinal transition dipole moments with respect to the chain axis. We show …

Laser-cooled atoms coupled to nanophotonic structures constitute a powerful research
platform for the exploration of new regimes of light-matter interaction. While the initialization …

We present an exact dissipation model for correlated photon transport in waveguide QED
systems. This model rigorously incorporates the infinitely many degrees of freedom of the full …

Chiral metamaterials provide a very convenient way to actively regulate the light field via
external means, which is very important in nanophotonics. However, the very weak chiral …
