The observation of microscopic dynamics using single-molecule/particle
spectroscopy has revolutionized Chemical Physics. In this lecture I will
describe two recent contributions from my lab. First, I will demonstrate
quantum optics with semiconductor nanocrystals coupled strongly to individual
plasmonic cavities. Second, I will show that large motions within proteins,
probed by single-molecule FRET, can take place on the microsecond time scale,
several orders of magnitude faster than functional cycles.
