Optical Materials Express Feature

Materials and Devices for Quantum Photonics

Submission Opens:1 August 2019

Submission Deadline: 1 October 2019

Materials for quantum photonics lie at the interface of photonics, quantum information science, and device engineering. This feature issue will highlight recent advances in quantum photonic materials, including 2D materials, diamond, quantum dots, rare earth crystals, single molecules, and perovskites. Advanced devices such as quantum LEDs, nanowires, quantum sensors, and quantum communications will be considered, as well as emerging topics such as Moiré excitons and topological quantum photonics. We welcome contributions that focus on new devices, characterization, performance, modelling, and synthesis of quantum optical materials.

Topics to be covered include but are not limited to:

  • Quantum light sources (single photon sources)
  • Quantum plasmonics
  • Photonic crystal cavities
  • Topological quantum photonics
  • Light—matter interactions
  • Quantum nanostructures
  • Modelling of photonic devices
  • Nanofabrication of quantum materials

All papers need to present original, previously unpublished work, and will be subject to the normal standards and peer-review process of the Journal. The standard OMEx publication charges will apply to all published articles.

Manuscripts must be prepared according to the usual guidelines for submission to Optical Materials Express and must be submitted online through OSA's electronic submission system. When submitting, authors should specify that the manuscript is for the "Materials and Devices for Quantum Photonics" feature issue (choose from the drop-down menu).
