6th International Workshop on Rydberg Excitons in Semiconductors (19 - 20 June 2023, Rostock, Germany)
Scope:
Excitons – the fundamental optical excitations in a semiconductors – are the condensed-matter analogon of hydrogen. More than 60 years after their first discovery in cuprous oxide, the observation of highly excited Rydberg excitons with giant wavefunction extensions has rekindled the interest in their properties. Just like their atomic counterparts, their enhanced external-field sensitivity and giant mutual interactions makes them attractive systems for fundamental studies of basic quantum phenomena and suggest exciting opportunities for future applications, such as for nonlinear optical interfaces, the sensing of elementary excitations on a quantum level, or the generation of nonclassical light from solid-state sources.The workshop will bring together international researchers to share latest results, to discuss current challenges, and to explore future perspectives and new opportunities in this growing and vibrant field of research.
