Synopsis
Nonlinear and quantum effects in optical systems are playing a prominent role in many fundamental physics discoveries as well as emerging technologies. This topical meeting brings together leading researchers working in the field of nonlinear and quantum optics to discuss recent achievements and new directions.
This TOM covers phenomena of both fundamental and technological relevance, as well as aspects of various systems (e.g., cavities, waveguides, interferometers, molecules, quantum wells/dots etc.) where such phenomena arise. Topics discussed in this TOM include, but are not limited to: nonlinear dynamics from the ultrafast to the ultraslow time scales, novel materials and platforms for nonlinear and/or quantum optics, generation and manipulation of nonclassical states of light, frequency conversion, optical switching, effects of quantum and classical noise, parametric processes, classical or quantum sensing with nonlinear optical systems, non-Hermitian and topological physics in nonlinear systems, photonic quantum simulators, quantum transducers, integrated systems for quantum photonics, and nonlinear/quantum metasurfaces.
