With technological advances allowing the fabrication of smaller and smaller
components for electronic and optical processing it is important that we
understand and embrace the possibilities of combining the use of quantum
technologies in the nanosciences. In this talk I will present three recent
results of my research group which showcase the possibilities of applying the
concepts of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information in Nanophotonics, with
particular emphasis in sensing and metrology applications. In particular I
will show our recent efforts in using quantum metrology to perform
measurements of the optical rotatory dispersion of chiral molecules, how
photonic quantum states can be engineered to interact with structures smaller
than the wavelength of light and to control the state of levitated
nanoparticles to perform very sensitive accelerometers and gyroscopes. I will
also give a brief introduction of our Research Centre (QSciTech).
