| Abstract: |
||
| The high degree of control over photonic crystal structures that is achieved in current experiments raises fundamental issues for the interaction between nanostructured materials and the quantized radiation field. Two of these are addressed in this project: (i) the quantum properties of light emitted by active particles close to a photonic structure, and (ii) the role of material absorption for the propagation of light at the single photon level, including entanglement. We propose to use standard analytical methods of quantum optics, as well as recently developed schemes able to handle the interaction of emitters with structured mode densities and absorbing media. Explicit results related to experimentally relevant setups will be obtained using numerical field calculations. The project provides theoretical support for experiments conducted in Zürich (group of V. Sandoghdar) and Berlin (group of O. Benson). |
