The course covers the main concepts in the field of classical and quantum photonics and is divided in 5 building blocks: (1) Elements of classical and quantum optics, including quantization of the electromagnetic field in micro and nanostructures; (2) light propagation in dielectric waveguides; (3) Optical resonators and cavities; (4) quantum light-matter interaction (e.g. spontaneous emission and LASERs); (5) Classical and quantum nonlinear optics.
