Light–matter interaction at the nanoscale

We study how light interacts with matter in micro- and nanoscale systems, using both classical and quantum electrodynamics. The group is part of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at the University of Naples “Federico II”.

Research

What we work on

Resonant modes of a nanophotonic resonator

Nanophotonics and metamaterials

Scattering resonances and interference effects in nanophotonic devices and metamaterials. We develop new theoretical models and fast computational methods to analyse and design them.

Quantum electrodynamics of a dispersive nanophotonic resonator

Quantum nanophotonics

Quantum electrodynamics of open, dispersive nanophotonic resonators coupled to quantum emitters, in both the linear and non-linear regimes, with theoretical models and computational tools to predict their behaviour.

Transmission line coupling two circuit blocks

Circuit quantum electrodynamics

Superconducting circuits built from transmission lines and lumped elements, including Josephson junctions. We develop theoretical models, equivalent circuits and numerical techniques for quantum information processing and quantum computing.
