Integrating Metamaterials with Quantum Materials:<\/h3>\n

A Design Paradigm for 21st Century Science & Technology<\/h3>\n
The interaction of light and matter is ubiquitous and penetrates every facet of our existence, from the simple joy of watching a sunset to fast-paced developments in energy harvesting and information technology. As such, the control of light-matter interactions is a core topic in materials science with the emergence of the metamaterials paradigm at the dawn of the twenty-first century providing a guiding principle to aid in the realization and advancement of numerous optical and photonic technologies. Central to this paradigm is creating electromagnetic composites consisting of subwavelength \u201cmeta-atoms\u201d with properties dictated by judicious design. Simultaneous with the development of metamaterials are advances in the realization and characterization of quantum materials where novel electronic and photonic properties derive from micro-to-mesoscale interactions and phenomena. At the crossroads where metamaterials meet quantum materials enhanced interactions can arise, enabling novel devices and systems. In this workshop, leading researchers in metamaterials and quantum materials will present their recent progress towards taming light-matter interactions and provide perspectives on the future development of advanced photonic materials.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
