Reihe: Lecture Notes of the Les Houches Summer School

Quantum Optics and Nanophotonics consists of the lecture notes of the Les Houches Summer School 101 held in August 2013. Some of the most eminent experts in this flourishing area of research have contributed chapters lying at the intersection of basic quantum science and advanced nanotechnology. The book is part of the renowned series of tutorial books that contain the lecture notes of all the Les Houches Summer Schools since the 1950's and cover the latest
developments in physics and related fields.

Über Autor(innen)

Claude Fabre specializes in quantum optics, on the generation and characterization of non-classical states of light, study of quantum correlations and entanglement in light, applications to quantum information processing and quantum metrology. He is Professor at the Kastler Brossel Laboratory, Pierre and Marie Curie University, and has been a senior member of the Institut Universitaire de France since 2007. He is the former Director of Research at CNRS, served as
President of the Societe Francaise d'Optique, and was Editor in Chief of the European Physical Journal D. He is a recipient of the Fabry de Gramont prize for his research.

Vahid Sandoghdar´s research focuses on the interaction of light and matter at the nanometer scale and covers fields ranging from quantum optics, plasmonics, high-resolution optical microscopy, and condensed matter physics to biophysics. He is Director at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light in Erlangen. He has held the Alexander von Humboldt Professorship at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg and is a recipient of an Advanced ERC Grant. During his
earlier professorship at Eidgenössischen Technischen Hochschule (ETH) Zurich, he founded the Network of Optical Sciences (optETH) and the Zurich Center for Imaging Science and Technology (CIMST) at ETH.

Nicolas Trepps is Professor at Pierre and Marie Curie University, Laboratoire Kastler Brossel, where his research centers on quantum metrology and quantum information with optical frequency. He is a recipient of an ERC starting grant, was awarded the Fabry-de Gramont Prize of the French Optical Society, and is a junior member of the Institut Universitaire de France. He has been awarded the Jean Jerphagnon Prize in 2013 for successfully transferring fundamental research to industry, in
recognition of his founding of the start-up company CAILabs. He held a postdoctoral fellowship at Australian National University for his work on quantum information and high sensitivity optical measurement beyond the standard quantum limit.

Leticia Cugliandolo is Professor at Pierre and Marie Curie University, where she works on statistical physics and field theory with applications to soft and hard condensed matter. She has written more than 130 scientific papers, and has been a coeditor of the Les Houches book series since 2007, when she assumed the directorship of the Les Houches Summer School of Physics.
