In the past 20 years, impressive progress has been made both experimentally and
theoretically in superconducting quantum circuits, which provide a platform for manipulating …

Semi-transparent photovoltaic (ST-PV) technologies can be applied to replace facades and
roofs in conventional buildings and coatings on vehicles to produce energy from sunlight …

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 …

Semiconductor electronics is commonplace in every household. Semiconductor devices
have enabled economically reasonable fiber-based optical communication, optical storage …

Phononic crystals are composite materials made of periodic distributions of inclusions
embedded in a matrix. Due to their periodic structure, these materials may exhibit under …

It is known that light can be slowed down in dispersive materials near resonances. Dramatic
reduction of the light group velocity—and even bringing light pulses to a complete halt—has …

Nanophotonics is where photonics merges with nanoscience and nanotechnology, and
where spatial confinement considerably modifies light propagation and light-matter …
