Research Interests

Our research interests cover a wide range of theoretical and computational topics in the areas of
  • Quantum Optics
  • Quantum Control
  • Quantum Plasmonics
  • Quantum Information Theory
  • Nonlinear Optics
  • Controlled Light Propagation
in novel nanoscale structures with applications in Nanotechnology (mainly in Nanophotonics) and in Quantum Technologies (mainly in Quantum Information Processing).
For example, specific topics of research interest include:
