End of conference
80 researchers from more than 30 research groups joined the conference in Odense to present results within the research field of polariton-driven nanoscale light-matter interactions
Conference topic
Polaritons are quasiparticles originating from the strong coupling of electromagnetic waves with dipole-carrying matter excitations; these can be plasmon oscillations of free electrons in metals, excitonic electron-hole pairs in semiconductors, or even phonon lattice vibrations in crystals. Polariton science embraces the mutual coupling of light and matter—colloquially, part-light part-matter excitations—governed by a rich interplay of electrodynamics and quantum physics.
Topics include:
-
Quantum plasmonics
-
Nonlinear nano-optics
-
Strong coupling
-
Electron-photon interactions
-
Ultrafast and non-equilibrium collective phenomena
-
Thermo-optical phenomena
-
Metasurfaces
-
Polaritons in two-dimensional materials
-
Nanoscale quantum electrodynamics
-
Tunable quantum light sources
