With this seminar, we plan to bring together students with leading international experts from different optics communities, covering the topical range from technical and classical optics to the field of quantum optics and quantum communication. This seminar will specifically highlight the research areas of nanooptics and nanophotonics as well as the concept of spatial modes of light. Furthermore, it will emphasize the significance, importance and versatile applicability of scalar and vectorial spatial modes.
The seminar will provide an intuitive introduction for newcomers to the above-mentioned research areas, turning it into an excellent platform for PhD students and young post-docs. In addition, it will foster the discussion between leading scientists and young researchers from different communities, thus strengthening existing and initializing new collaborations.
