Quantum Optics and Quantum Information
Advances in experimental quantum optics in the past decades led to development of efficient methods for generation, engineering, control, and detection of light on the quantum level. This enabled fundamental tests of physical reality as well as numerous protocols of quantum information for advanced quantum communication, computation, and sensing. Belonging to the novel quantum technologies, those methods and protocols are currently being developed towards higher efficiency, robustness, feasibility, or scalability. Furthermore, new directions, such as quantum optomechanics or quantum memories, enabling mechanical sensing or storage of quantum states, are emerging based on the controllable light-matter interactions. The special session will address the underlying principles as well as practical realizations of photonic quantum technologies and present the latest developments in the field.
The topics include:
- Quantum light generation, control, and detection
- Fundamental tests using quantum optics
- Quantum communication and quantum cryptography

Semiconductor Quantum Confined Nanostructure (dot, dash, rod, wire) Based Materials and Devices
The steep increase in energy demand and bandwidth requirement for the exponentially growing internet and mobile connectivity market calls for further innovation in ultra-compact, high integrated, low energy consumption, and high performance technologies for active optical semiconductor devices, such as light-emitting diodes, mode-locked lasers, and semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA).
State-of-the-art semiconductor quantum confined nanostructure based active-regions in the form of quantum dots, dash, rod, and wire have played a pivotal role in the achievement of efficient semiconductor devices. The vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) with the zero-dimensional (0D) structures and 0D or quasi 0D quantum dot or dash mode-locked lasers are already occur and presenting very promising results. They can serve in the future energy saving information and communication technologies as the main-force for implementing electronic and photonic integrated circuits, transmitting and amplifying high capacity data through optical fiber.
In this Special Section, accepted presentations can include, but not limit, in the following areas:
- Theory of semiconductor materials and devices with quantum confined nanostructure
- Material growths and device designs with quantum confined nanostructure
- Quantum confined semiconductor lasers
- Quantum confined semiconductor optical amplifiers
- Quantum confined superluminescent diodes
- Applications of the quantum confined semiconductor devises
