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 recent progress in nanotechnology, and single-molecule spectroscopy,–paves the way
for emergent cost-effective organic quantum optical technologies with potential applications …

Single-photon emitters play an important role in many leading quantum technologies. There
is still no'ideal'on-demand single-photon emitter, but a plethora of promising material …

We propose how to create and manipulate one-way nonclassical light via photon blockade
in rotating nonlinear devices. We refer to this effect as nonreciprocal photon blockade (PB) …

We demonstrate that nanoparticle self-assembly can reach the same level of hierarchy,
complexity, and accuracy as biomolecules. The precise assembly structures of gold …

Advanced photonic nanostructures are currently revolutionizing the optics and photonics
that underpin applications ranging from light technology to quantum-information processing …

The realization of strong interactions between individual photons is a long-standing goal of
both fundamental and technological significance. Scientists have known for over half a …

Photon-photon scattering in vacuum is extremely weak. However, strong effective
interactions between single photons can be realized by employing strong light-matter …

Despite the tremendous progress of quantum cryptography, efficient quantum
communication over long distances (≥ 1000 km) remains an outstanding challenge due to …
