Abstract: |
Plasmon is the collective oscillation of electrons in metals , which possesses broad application prospects in physics, biology, chemistry, energy, information and so on. Recently, plasmonic behaviors have been proposed and observed in the quantum regime, opening a new avenue of research on quantum plasmonics. In this review, we first introduce some basic properties of plasmon as well as their relevant applications. Next, we review some latest progresses on quantum plasmonics, including quantum entanglement, quantum size effect, quantum reflection at the potential steps, and plasm on enhancement of quantum coherence. Finally, we give a summary and outlook of quantum plasmonics. |
