Objective
The last decade has witnessed unprecedented developments in the fabrication of nanoelectronic and nanophotonic devices and microlasers based upon quantum electronic and quantum optical effects, which have no classical analogue. The combination of these properties opens up a new territory in fundamental science. This project aims to lay the theoretical foundations for the cooperative interplay of electrons and photons and the accentuation of quantum-mechanical effects in these devices.
The project also addresses fundamental obstacles for the commercialisation of devices, which are presently developed. Systems to be addressed are at a rapidly progressing experimental stage and encompass quantum conductors, quantum dots, mesoscopic and superconducting circuits, and micro-cavity lasers. The project adopts an interdisciplinary methodological approach, which brings together mesoscopic physics, quantum-optics, quantum dynamics, and electronic correlations.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
