Quantum and Topological Optics in Nanophotonic Structures


Introduction

This seminar will explore cutting-edge research and simulation techniques for designing and understanding nanophotonic structures designed for coupling to quantum emitters and topologically protected modes. We will discuss robust and emitter chirality-dependent light transport in a topological photonic crystal and topology optimization of a quantum emitter light extractor into an integrated waveguide, showcasing how these phenomena can be harnessed for next-generation photonic devices using Tidy3D.

What you will learn:

  • How to model light-matter coupling in nanophotonic structures

  • The fundamentals and applications of topological photonics

  • Design workflows for integrating quantum and topological effects

  • Case studies using Tidy3D for advanced nanophotonics research
