Optics and photonics enable devices that exploit the laws of quantum physics QUANTUM PHOTONIC DEVICES FOR SIMULATIONS, METROLOGY,
at a fundamental level, laying the ground for a second quantum revolution. SENSING, IMAGING, COMMUNICATION AND COMPUTING
Light is widely used in emerging quantum technologies, for example to control • nanoscale atom traps
and manipulate quantum states of matter, to generate and transmit qubits, to • single-photon sources and modulators
achieve quantum nonlinearities and many-body effects. In addition, advances in • single-photon and photon-number discriminating detectors
nanofabrication and circuit integration (e.g. silicon photonics, fiber optics, plas- • spin-photon interfaces for sensors and repeaters
monics) are crucial to translate proof of concepts into technological platforms • quantum gates
for quantum simulations, metrology, sensing, imaging, communication and • optomechanical devices
computing. • quantum chemistry.
Quantum nanophotonic materials, devices, and systems aims at establishing a QUANTUM NANOPHOTONIC SYSTEMS
multidisciplinary forum for physicists, material scientists, and optical engineers • quantum key distribution and quantum random number generators
to discuss the current progress, challenges, and future directions of the bur- • quantum computers and simulators
geoning field of quantum nanophotonics. • quantum sensors based on solid-state systems and atom chips
Contributions are solicited in areas focusing on: • quantum engineering, including nanofabrication and integration
• quantum control, including error correction and tolerance
MATERIAL PLATFORMS FOR QUANTUM PHOTONIC DEVICES • quantum entanglement and imaging.
• wide bandgap materials: diamond, silicon carbide, rare earths
• semiconductors: silicon, III-V and II-V compounds
• two-dimensional materials: graphene, boron-nitride, transition metal
dichalcogenides
• quantum plasmonics
• quantum meta-optics
• nanoantennas
• topological materials.
