The Revolution of Quantum Nanophotonics: Pushing the Boundaries of Light
Physicists have long sought to manipulate photons, the fundamental particles of light, into ever-smaller volumes to harness their unique properties. The natural scale of a photon is its wavelength, typically measured in nanometers. When photons are forced into cavities much smaller than their wavelength, they become significantly more “concentrated.” This …
