Summary
"SPARKLE will build a mixed experimental and theoretical network to develop the necessary tools and techniques to exploit light-matter coupling to manipulate materials functionalities. SPARKLE will bridge the gap between photonics on the one hand and materials science on the other, by advancing the understanding of light-matter interaction via two distinct yet complementary approaches: (i) the utilization of tailored laser fields and (ii) the confinement of light in optical environments, called cavities. The network will connect leading academic and industrial experts, to push the development of novel detection techniques, innovative light sources, state-of-the-art ab-initio simulation methods and innovative designs of light-matter hybrid solid-state systems for devices at the interface of photonics, electronics and quantum technology.
We are convinced that this topic is mature enough to provide Europe with a first generation of 14 early stage career scientists trained on interdisciplinary and intersectoral aspects of light and matter based technology, while at the same time pushing forward a cutting edge research field, the one of polaritonics. SPARKLE, will follow the guiding principle of ""model - simulate - design - measure"", providing the doctoral candidates with a unique multidisciplinary training which will place them at the forefront of the research on light-matter hybrid systems. They will collectively engage in a scientific endeavour, the control and manipulation of the quantum nature of material and light, that bridges the domains of theoretical solid state physics, quantum optics, ab initio material simulations, photonic engineering, laser physics and ultrafast spectroscopies. Last but not least the doctoral candidates will be equipped with the required entrepreneurship, innovation, organizational, “soft” and management skills to become successful future leaders in both academic and industrial environments."
