Metasurfaces and Nanoantennas for Nonlinear and Quantum Applications

Submission Deadline: March 31, 2026Contribute to this Special Topic

Metasurfaces and nanoantennas are a powerful class of nanostructured materials enabling unprecedented control of light–matter interaction. By overcoming limitations of traditional optics, they have become key platforms for advancing nonlinear and quantum photonics. These structures support applications ranging from secure communications and sensing to imaging and quantum information processing. Recent breakthroughs include high-harmonic generation, ultrafast all-optical switching, and quantum light generation enhanced by resonances.

This Special Topic aims to gather the latest breakthroughs and forward-looking research on metasurfaces and nanoantennas aiming for their applications in nonlinear optics and quantum photonics. Contributions that explore novel concepts, new experimental demonstrations, fresh theoretical insights, and emerging applications are highly encouraged and very much welcomed.

Topics covered include, but are not limited to:

  • Nonlinear frequency conversion phenomena in dielectric and plasmonic metasurfaces and nanoantennas
  • Nonlinear metasurfaces and nanoantennas realized with new materials
  • Nonlinear wavefront shaping metasurfaces and nanoantennas
  • Hybrid nonlinear metasurfaces with 2D materials
  • Ultrafast dynamics in dielectric and plasmonic metasurfaces and nanoantennas
  • Applications of nonlinear and quantum metasurfaces and nanoantennas
  • Spontaneous parametric down-conversion in metasurfaces and nanoantennas
  • New techniques and applications of machine learning for nonlinear and quantum metadevices
  • Tunable nonlinear metasurfaces and nanoantennas
