biostudies-literatureUnknown12(11)Liu GXRecent advances in inverse-design approaches for discovering optical structures based on desired functional characteristics have reshaped the landscape of nanophotonic structures, where most studies have focused on how light interacts with nanophotonic structures only. When quantum emitters (QEs), such as atoms, molecules, and quantum dots, are introduced to couple to the nanophotonic structures, the light-matter interactions become much more complicated, forming a rapidly developing field - quantum nanophotonics. Typical quantum functional characteristics depend on the intrinsic properties of the QE and its electromagnetic environment created by the nanophotonic structures, commonly represented by a scalar quantity, local-density-of-states (LDOS). In this work, we introduce a generalized Nanophotonics (Berlin, Germany)1943-1955https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC11501149biostudies-literatureInverse design in quantum nanophotonics: combining local-density-of-states and deep learning.PMC11501149Qiu CWWu LLiu GXZhou WJLiu JFYou CLLi LYfalseInverse design in quantum nanophotonics: combining local-density-of-states and deep learning.Recent advances in inverse-design approaches for discovering optical structures based on desired functional characteristics have reshaped the landscape of nanophotonic structures, where most studies have focused on how light interacts with nanophotonic structures only.
