BORDERS IN NANO-FOTONICA: GRAPHENE AND PLASMONICA QUANTUM AND NON-LINEAR

Operation co-funded by EU cohesion policy (European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)) under the programme Multi-regional Spain - ERDF (2014ES16RFOP002), managing authority: Subdirección General de Gestión del FEDER, de la Dirección General de Fondos Europeos del Ministerio de Hacienda.. The source names no beneficiary for this operation. Location: Zaragoza Province (NUTS ES243); Spain. Budget: total eligible expenditure EUR 121,000; EU co-financing EUR 60,500 (co-financing rate 50%), as stated by the source. Runs 2015-01-01 to 2018-12-31. Source: Kohesio, EU cohesion policy projects managed by national and regional authorities (not CORDIS); selected because its title uses a quantum word. Summary from Kohesio (English machine translation by the source): IN THIS PROJECT, WE FACE FUNDAMENTAL ISSUES ARISING FROM THE UNPRECEDENTED FORCE OF THE COUPLING BETWEEN LIGHT AND MATTER THAT OCCURS BETWEEN HIGHLY CONFINED ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS (WHICH ARE ONLY POSSIBLE ON PLATFORMS SUCH AS TWO-DIMENSIONAL MATERIALS OR COMPLEX METAL SYSTEMS) AND QUANTUM SYSTEMS OF FEW LEVELS. Specifically, we PROPONE THE THEORIC STUDY OF: 1. NANOSTRUCTURES BASED ON GRAPHENE AND OTHER TWO-DIMENSIONAL ATOMIC THICKNESS MATERIALS. WE WILL ANALYSE SEVERAL TOPICS RELATED TO THE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS THAT THESE STRUCTURES ARE ABLE TO MAINTAIN (THE SO-CALLED POLARITONIC PLASMONS): (I) ITS ABILITY TO ENHANCE THE ROTATION OF THE POLARISATION OF LIGHT WHEN SUBJECTED TO A STATIC MAGNETIC FIELD, (II) ITS THERMAL RADIATION (IN THE NEAR AND FAR FIELD RANGES), (III) ITS INTERACTION WITH RESONANT MODES THAT RESIDE IN USUALLY USED SUBSTRATES (AND ITS CORRESPONDING ABILITY TO INCREASE THE PHOTO-RESPONSE OF GRAPHENE) AND (IV) THE DISPERSION OF GRAPHENE PLASMAS WHEN THEY ENCOUNTER TYPIC DEFECTS IN THE TWO-DIMENSIONAL MATERIAL (BOTH NATURAL AND ARTIFICIALLY CREATED). In YOUR association, these TEMAS have applications in the optoelectronic AREA IN THE INFRARROW AND TERAHERCE REGIMEN. 2. THE DESIGN OF OPTICAL FORCES WITH NANOSTRUCTURES, WHERE WE WILL EXPLORE THE POSSIBILITY OF CREATING EFFECTIVE FORCES BETWEEN TRAPPED NANO-PARTICULAES, INDUCED BY EXTERNAL ILLUMINATION. 3. THE QUANTUM OPTIC IN WAVEGUIDES, DUE TO ITS POTENTIAL APPLICATION IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF QUANTUM LIGHT SOURCES, HIGHLY NON-LINEAR MATERIALS AND QUANTUM DOORS FOR INFORMATION PROCESSING. MORE PRECISELY, WE WILL ANALYSE THE REGIME OF “FOTONICA OF FEW PHOTONS”, WHERE A DISCRETE NUMBER (1-10) OF PROPAGATING PHOTONS INTERACT WITH A DISCRETE NUMBER OF QUANTIC SYSTEMS OF FEW LEVELS (SUCH AS MOLECULES, QUANTUM POINTS OR SUPERCONDUCTIVE QUBITS). THIS IS A DIFFICULT PROBLEM OF MANY BODIES, WHICH WE WILL STUDY WITH THE TECHNIQUE OF “MATRIX PRODUCT STATES” THAT WE HAVE RECENTLY ADAPTED TO THE GEOMETRIA OF [shortened; the full text is on the Kohesio page]
