Nonlinear Optics has continued to develop over the last few years at an extremely fast pace, with significant advances being reported in nonlinear optical metamaterials, optical signal processing, quantum optics, nonlinear optics at subwavelength scale, and biophotonics. These exciting new developments have generated significant potential for a broad spectrum of technological applications in wh...

The basics of the Wigner formulation of Quantum-Mechanics and few related interpretational issues are presented in a simple language. This formulation has extensive applications in Quantum Optics and in Mixed Quantum-Classical formulations.

A single radiative transition in a single-quantum emitter results in the emission of a single photon. Single quantum dots are single-quantum emitters with all the requirements to generate single photons at visible and near-infrared wavelengths. It is also possible to generate more than single photons with single quantum dots. In this paper we show that single quantum dots can be used to generat...

The collisional interaction in a Bose condensate represents a non-linearity which in analogy with non-linear optics gives rise to unique quantum features. In this paper we apply a Monte Carlo method based on the positive P pseudo-probability distribution from quantum optics to analyze the efficiency of spin squeezing by collisions in a two-component condensate. The squeezing can be controlled b...
