Synopsis
Nonlinear and quantum effects in optical systems play a prominent role in 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 systems where they arise, such as cavities, interferometers, quantum emitters, etc. Topics discussed in this TOM include, but are not limited to: nonlinear dynamics at all 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 optical sensing, non-Hermitian and topological physics in nonlinear systems, quantum transducers, integrated systems for quantum photonics, and nonlinear/quantum metasurfaces.
