Quantum Nano Photonics This book brings together more closely researchers working in the two fields of quantum optics and nano optics and provides a general overview of the main topics of interest in applied and fundamental research. The contributions cover for example single photon emitters and emitters of entangled photon pairs based on epitaxially grown semiconductor quantum dots nitrogen vacancy centers in diamond as single photon emitters coupled quantum bits based on trapped ions integrated waveguide superconducting nanowire single photon detectors quantum nano plasmonics nanosensing quantum aspects of biophotonics and quantum metamaterials. The articles span the bridge from pedagogical introductions on the fundamental principles to the current state of the art and are authored by pioneers and leaders in the field. Numerical simulations are presented as a powerful tool to gain insight into the physical behavior of nanophotonic systems and provide a critical complement to experimental investigations and design of devices Part 1: Lectures 1.Sergey.
