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 …

The increasing level of experimental control over atomic and optical systems gained in
recent years has paved the way for the exploration of new physical regimes in quantum …

High confinement, integrated silicon nitride (SiN) waveguides have recently emerged as an
attractive platform for on-chip nonlinear optical devices. The fabrication of high-Q SiN …

A passive optical diode effect would be useful for on-chip optical information processing but
has been difficult to achieve. Using a method based on optical nonlinearity, we demonstrate …

The experimental realization of a Kerr frequency comb represented the convergence of
research in materials, physics, and engineering. This symbiotic relationship continues to …

We study high-stress SiN films for reaching the quantum regime with mesoscopic oscillators
connected to a room-temperature thermal bath, for which there are stringent requirements …

Here we review the field of atom chips in the context of Bose–Einstein Condensates (BEC)
as well as cold matter in general. Twenty years after the first realization of the BEC and 15 …

We report the fabrication and experimental characterization of an ultra-high Q microdisk
resonator in a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform. We examine the role of the substrate in the …

Optical forces can produce significant mechanical effects in micro-and nanophotonic
systems. Here we demonstrate a novel optomechanical system using a movable …

High quality factor (Q≈ 3.4× 10^ 6) microdisk resonators are demonstrated in a Si_3N_4 on
SiO_2 platform at 652–660 nm with integrated in-plane coupling waveguides. Critical …
