Attoscience aims to study electron dynamics in matter with unprecedented temporal resolution by using the shortest pulses generated on Earth. Currently, such resolution is only provided by sources that deliver attosecond ...
The technological era that we live in is sometimes described as the Information Age. Colossal amounts of data are generated every day and considerable effort is put into creating technologies to process, store and transmit ...
Bound states in the continuum (BICs) are modes that remain radiationless though they exist in the part of the spectrum that corresponds to radiating waves. They are a general wave phenomenon and following initial theoretical ...
Optical trapping and manipulation have emerged as powerful tools to investigate single microscopic objects in a controlled environment. Using the momentum carried by light, forces can be exerted to confine and manipulate ...
Quantum physics is arguably both the most successful and the most counterintuitive physical theory of all times. Its extremely accurate predictions on the behaviour of microscopic particles have led to unprecedented ...
In the past century, experimental discoveries have witnessed phenomena in Nature which challenge our everyday classical intuition. In order to explain these facts, quantum theory was developed, which so far has been able ...
Entanglement and nonlocal correlations constitute two fundamental resources for quantum information processing, as they allow for novel tasks that are otherwise impossible in a classical scenario. However, their elusive ...
Organometal halide perovskites for solar cells are hybrid semiconductors that recently have caught the attention of the scientific community due to its excellent performance and attractive optical properties. Since then, ...
Nanophotonics is one of today’s basic sciences and technologies: an in-depth understanding of the interaction between light and matter on the nano-scale, besides its intrinsic associated scientific interest, enables the ...
Nanophotonics aims to understand and control the interaction of light-matter at the nanometer scale. Boosted by the development of nanotechnology and nanofabrication, nanophotonics is a thriving research field, with ...
Optical magnetometers use magnetically-sensitive atomic ensembles and optical read-out to detect the amplitude of magnetic fields. They have become the most sensitive instruments for measuring low-frequency magnetic fields ...
The outstanding progress achieved in the last decades to isolate and manipulate individual quantum systems has revolutionized the way in which quantum many-body phenomena, appearing across Nature's different energy scales, ...
(English) Bolometer technology, crucial for uncooled thermal detection in thermography, industrial inspection, monitoring, and surveillance applications, relies on thermistors primarily made of VOx, a-Si, and Si/SiGe QWs ...
High-power, continuous-wave (cw) optical parametric oscillators (OPOs), from the ultraviolet (UV) and visible to the near- and mid-infrared (IR) wavelength range, are of interest for a variety of applications such as ...
(English) Nanophotonics can be defined as the science and technology studying the control optical fields at the nanoscale and their interaction with matter. In order to spatially control such fields we would need structures ...
Un tema central en la ciencia y la tecnología es la exploración y explotación de sistemas cada vez más pequeños por medio de técnicas ópticas. A menudo, la longitud de onda viene dictada por el sistema de interés: los ...
The last decades have witnessed impressive technical advances in all the fields of quantum science, including solid-state systems or atomic, molecular, and optical physics, allowing one to control materials at the microscopic ...
The emission and detection of light is a main pillar of both fundamental research and the advancement of modern technologies. From digital communications and quantum computing to novel cancer treatments and faded jeans, ...
The ubiquity of solar energy conversion technology is an exciting target which we aspire for in this century. Colloidal quantum dot (CQD) solar cells are an attractive platform, being low-cost and allowing facile control ...
