The increase in demand for computation and the associated energy spending have been motivating the exploration of photonic analog computing schemes, to exploiting their

Complex oxides display a remarkable array of functionalities crucial to advanced electronics, energy, and information technologies, including ferroelectricity, piezoelectricity, and pyroelectricity

For too long the functionality of optical devices and systems has been severely restricted by the very limited range of refractive indices at the disposal of designers.

Recent years have seen an increase of interest in developing nano-scale sources of coherent radiation.

Colloidal semiconductor quantum dots (QDs), often regarded as artificial atoms, have reached an exceptional level of synthetic control and fundamental understanding—particularly regarding their siz

I will present recent theoretical and experimental results on: (i) subwavelength high-intensity vortices around ‘holes’ or ‘islands’ in 2D wave systems: from surface polaritons to ocean waves, (ii)

Spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) is the workhorse of quantum optics and photonic quantum technologies. It is used as a source of entangled photons, single photons, and squeezed light.

The fast evolution of technological advancement drives materials and device research with a demand for ever-faster, energetically efficient, compact electronic devices.
