Abstract

I will describe the novel concept of quantum metasurfaces which constitutes
a new platform for manipulating both classical and quantum properties of
light. These quantum metasurfaces are realized by preparing and
manipulating entangled states of atomic arrays which scatter or emit light,
while generating large scale atom-photon entanglement. I will show that
this platform allows for multi-qubit gates between atomic and photonic
qubits, and for the generation of photonic GHZ states and highly entangled
states suitable for quantum information processing. Finally, I will discuss
potential experimental realizations and possible new applications.
