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 …

We describe a technique that enables strong, coherent coupling between individual optical
emitters and guided plasmon excitations in conducting nanostructures at optical …

We propose a method that enables strong, coherent coupling between individual optical
emitters and electromagnetic excitations in conducting nanostructures. The excitations are …

This review surveys the physical principles and recent developments in manufacturing
single-photon sources. Special emphasis is placed on important potential applications such …

We provide a pedagogical introduction to the concept of the local density of optical states
(LDOS), illustrating its application to both the classical and quantum theory of radiation. We …

A formalism for studying spontaneous decay of an excited two-level atom in the presence of
dispersing and absorbing dielectric bodies is developed. An integral equation, which is …

It is well known that the probabilities of radiative transitions in a medium differ from those in
vacuum. Excitation of a fluorescent molecule and its radiative decay are examples of …

Starting from the quantized version of Maxwell's equations for the electromagnetic field in an
arbitrary linear Kramers-Kronig dielectric, the Heisenberg equations of motion for a two-level …

We present a joint experiment-theory analysis of the temperature-dependent emission
spectra, zero-phonon linewidth, and second-order correlation function of light emitted from a …

Quantum behavior of the electromagnetic field in unbounded macroscopic media displaying
absorption is properly described by the Langevin noise formalism (macroscopic quantum …
