Photonic crystal slabs coupled with quantum dipole emitters allow one to control quantum light-matter interactions and are a promising platform for quantum information science technologies; however their development has ...

Research in solid-state nanophotonics and quantum optics has been recently pushing the limits in semiconductor microcavity design. High quality microcavities that confine light into small volumes are now able to drastically ...

The emergence of integrated (or solid state) photonic systems, including quantum dots, waveguides, and cavities, has provided a base to harness quantum optic phenomena for use in current and future quantum technologies. ...

In this thesis I develop a formalism for analyzing quantum optics in photonic crystal slab cavities which may be coupled, lossy, and non-orthogonal. Using a tight-binding approximation I find classical coupled-cavity ...

A general formalism is developed that can be used to obtain photon dynamics in coupled-cavity system in leaky photonic crystal slabs. This is accomplished using a non-Hermitian projection operator, where the coupled-cavity ...

Quantum dots (QDs) integrated in nanophotonic environments provide an excellent platform for quantum information technologies and engineerable light-matter interactions. One application is a solid-state single photon source ...

This work studies the use of two-dimensional (2D) crystal materials as mechanical elements in an electromechanical resonant system. 2D materials form crystals that have strong in-plane bonds but weak out-of-plane bonds, ...
