The article "Chiral Quantum Optics" by Peter Lodahl et al. explores the fundamental interaction between light and matter, particularly focusing on the emergence of chiral light-matter interactions in photonic nanostructures. These interactions are characterized by the emission and absorption of photons depending on the propagation direction and polarization of light, as well as the polarization of the emitter transition. This chiral coupling leads to non-reciprocal light propagation, where the forward and backward propagation of light are different, and can be unidirectional in extreme cases. The authors highlight the potential of chiral quantum optics for a wide range of applications, including integrated non-reciprocal single-photon devices, deterministic spin-photon interfaces, and complex quantum circuits and networks. They discuss the physics behind chiral coupling, which arises from the transverse confinement of light in nanophotonic structures, leading to spin-orbital coupling and direction-dependent effects in photon emission and absorption. The article also reviews experimental demonstrations of chiral coupling in various nanophotonic devices, such as optical nanofibers, microresonators, and photonic waveguides. These devices have been used to achieve directional photon emission, absorption, and scattering, as well as non-reciprocal light propagation. The authors further explore the implications of chiral coupling for quantum many-body systems, where the interaction between 1D quantum emitters mediated by photons can lead to novel quantum phases and dynamics. Overall, the article emphasizes the potential of chiral quantum optics to enable new functionalities and applications in quantum information processing, quantum networks, and quantum many-body physics, with a focus on the unique properties and capabilities of chiral light-matter interactions.The article "Chiral Quantum Optics" by Peter Lodahl et al. explores the fundamental interaction between light and matter, particularly focusing on the emergence of chiral light-matter interactions in photonic nanostructures.
