扩展信息处理技术的前沿，特别是不断提高速度和容量的计算，长期以来一直被认为是一项重要的社会挑战，需要开发下一代量子技术。量子计算具有指数级增长计算能力的潜力，为进行普通计算机在宇宙的生命周期中无法完成的计算提供了可能性，而基于量子密码学的光通信则变得完全安全。与此同时，大数据的出现以及对小型化和节能技术不断增长的需求，为处理光物质相互作用的科学学科带来了更多的基本问题和技术挑战。在这种情况下，量子等离子体代表了最有前途和最基本的研究方向之一，事实上，只有一个，使最终微型化的光子组件的量子光学时，被带到极端限制在光-物质相互作用。
Expanding the frontiers of information processing technologies and, in particular, computing with ever-increasing speed and capacity has long been recognized as an important societal challenge, calling for the development of the next generation of quantum technologies. With its potential to exponentially increase computing power, quantum computing opens up possibilities to carry out calculations that ordinary computers could not finish in the lifetime of the universe, whereas optical communications based on quantum cryptography become completely secure. At the same time, the emergence of Big Data and the ever-increasing demands of miniaturization and energy-saving technologies bring about additional fundamental problems and technological challenges to be addressed in scientific disciplines dealing with light-matter interactions. In this context, quantum plasmonics represents one of the most promising and fundamental research directions and, indeed, the only one that enables the ultimate miniaturization of photonic components for quantum optics when being taken to extreme limits in light-matter interactions.
