Abstract
Nanophotonics offers opportunities for engineering and exploiting the quantum properties of light by integrating quantum emitters into nanostructures, and offering reliable paths to quantum technology applications such as sources of quantum light or new quantum simulators, among many others. In this Review, we discuss common nanophotonic platforms for studying light–matter interactions, explaining their strengths and experimental state-of-the-art. Each platform works at a different interaction regime: from standard cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) setups to unique quantum nanophotonic devices, such as chiral and non-chiral waveguide QED experiments. When several quantum emitters are integrated into nanophotonic systems, collective interactions emerge, enabling miniaturized, versatile and fast-operating quantum devices. We conclude with a perspective on the near-term opportunities offered by nanophotonics in the context of quantum technologies. Quantum nanophotonics examines the interaction between emitters and light confined at the nanoscale. This Review highlights the experimental progress in the field, explains new light–matter interaction regimes and emphasizes their potential applications in quantum technologies.
纳米光子学通过将量子发射器集成到纳米结构中,为工程设计和利用光的量子特性提供了机会,并为量子技术应用(如量子光源或新型量子模拟器等)提供了可靠的途径。在本综述中,我们将讨论研究光-物质相互作用的常见纳米光子平台,解释它们的优势和最新实验进展。每个平台在不同的相互作用机制下工作:从标准空腔量子电动力学(QED)装置到独特的量子纳米光子装置,如手性和非手性波导 QED 实验。当多个量子发射器集成到纳米光子系统中时,就会产生集体相互作用,从而实现量子器件的小型化、多功能化和快速运行。最后,我们展望了纳米光子学在量子技术方面提供的近期机遇。
