Mechanisms governing photon-pair generation and emission directionality in quantum metasurfaces
Alberto Paniate, Ivano Ruo-Berchera, Francesco Monticone
Metasurfaces are emerging as a promising platform for photon-pair generation through spontaneous parametric down-conversion, thanks to their compactness, integrability, and intrins…
Fundamental limits in photonics and electromagnetics: a tutorial
Owen D. Miller, Francesco Monticone
Theoretical limits and physical bounds across many areas of science, mathematics, and technology -- including Shannon's information-capacity limits, Bennett and Landauer's thermody…
Efficient photon-pair emission from a nanostructured resonator and its theoretical description
Michael Poloczek, Alberto Paniate, Attilio Zilli +12
Spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) in subwavelength nanostructures is a promising source of quantum light, owing to its multifunctionality and ability to generate comple…
Roadmap on Nonlocality in Photonic Materials and Metamaterials
Francesco Monticone, N. Asger Mortensen, Antonio I. Fernández-DomÃnguez +63
Photonic technologies continue to drive the quest for new optical materials with unprecedented responses. A major frontier in this field is the exploration of nonlocal (spatially d…
Dynamical Casimir Effects: The Need for Nonlocality in Time-Varying Dispersive Nanophotonics
S. Ali Hassani Gangaraj, George Hanson, Francesco Monticone
Both real and virtual photons can be involved in light-matter interactions. A famous example of the observable implications of virtual photons -- vacuum fluctuations of the quantum…
