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 …

Photonic nanostructures provide a means of tailoring the interaction between light and
matter and the past decade has witnessed tremendous experimental and theoretical …

The unique properties of light underpin the visions of photonic quantum technologies,
optical interconnects and a wide range of novel sensors, but a key limiting factor today is …

Quantum light is characterized by distinctive statistical distributions that are possible only
because of quantum mechanical effects. For example, single photons and correlated photon …

What do lotus flowers have in common with human bones, liquid crystals with colloidal
suspensions, and white beetles with the beautiful stones of the Taj Mahal? The answer is …

The integration of nanophotonics and atomic physics has been a long-sought goal that
would open new frontiers for optical physics, including novel quantum transport and many …

Ultrafast all‐optical switching, possessing the unique function of light controlling light, is an
essential component of on‐chip ultrafast optical connection networks as well as integrated …

Recent studies have revealed the counterintuitive possibility that increasing disorder can
turn a topologically trivial insulator into a nontrivial insulator, called a topological Anderson …

Electronic transport is localized in low-dimensional disordered media. The addition of gauge
fields to disordered media leads to fundamental changes in the transport properties. We …

A major challenge in quantum optics and quantum information technology is to enhance the
interaction between single photons and single quantum emitters. This requires highly …
