Nanophotonics

The symposium focuses on current trends and emerging concepts in nanophotonics, where structuring matter at the nanoscale enables precise control over optical fields and their interaction with electronic and excitonic systems. Particular attention is given to regimes of strong and ultrastrong light–matter coupling, where hybrid states emerge and fundamentally alter optical properties, opening pathways to new physical phenomena and functionalities.

By combining advances in materials science, nanofabrication, and optical design, nanophotonics continues to provide powerful platforms for engineering enhanced and collective interactions between light and matter. This session will bring together contributions spanning both fundamental studies and device-oriented implementations, with an emphasis on hybrid systems, quantum emitters, and tunable nanophotonic architectures.

Topics covered include (but are not limited to):

• Strong and ultrastrong light–matter coupling
• Plasmonic and hybrid nanostructures
• Quantum emitters and cavity quantum electrodynamics
• Metamaterials and metasurfaces
• Photonic crystals and optical nanocavities
• Nanoscale spectroscopy and imaging
• Nanophotonic device architectures
• Two-dimensional and layered materials
• Nanophotonics for sensing and biosensing
• Energy conversion and light harvesting
• Optical communication and information processing
• Nanophotonics in biomedical applications
