Abstract
Strong light-matter interactions enabled by surface plasmons have given rise to a wide range of photonic, optoelectronic and chemical functionalities. In recent years, the interest in this research area has focused on the quantum regime, aiming to developing ultra-compact nanoscale instruments operating at the single (few) photon(s) level. In this perspective, we provide a general overview of recent experimental and theoretical advances as well as near-future challenges towards the design and implementation of plasmon-empowered quantum optical and photo-emitting devices based on the building blocks of nanophotonics technology: metallo-dielectric nanostructures and microscopic light sources.
