Description:: Ordered arrays of metallic nanoparticles (NPs) are a promising platform for technological applications and fundamental investigations due to their ability to excite surface lattice resonances (SLRs). SLRs can support extremely high local electric fields that have been used to realize exotic physical phenomena. The open cavity architecture lends itself to...

Description:: Quantum technologies have the capability of greatly increasing the security of communication systems. Many components are required for a full quantum network including memory, repeaters, routers, and detectors. The efficiencies of quantum communication technologies suffer greatly due to their inherent sensitivity to loss. Low-loss propagation and high detection efficiency can...

Description:: Recent advances in optical switching have yielded an all-fiber, all-optical, device capable of routing single-photon quantum signals at high rates (≈25 GHz), with almost immeasurably small degradation of the quantum state[1, 2, 3]. These switches can facilitate complex quantum networking and quantum information processing schemes. However, the complexity of these...
