Strong light-matter coupling in quantum chemistry and quantum photonics. J Flick, N Rivera, P Narang. Nanophotonics 7 (9), 1479-1501.
Nick Rivera is a DOE/MIT School of Science fellow working with Prof. Marin Soljacic on nanophotonics and quantum electrodynamics. His research interests include extending quantum field theory to nanophotonics, enabling forbidden light-matter interactions, and tailoring selection rules via shaped polariton wavepackets.
Nick Rivera. Optical Fock states. PNAS (2023) •. Welcome! Here, you can learn about our research on light-matter interactions. Light-matter interactions are central to a wide range of technologies and applications such as lasers, sensors, materials characterization, optical communication, computing, and medical imaging.
Nick Rivera is a postdoc at Harvard with a Junior Fellowship from the Harvard Society of Fellows. He completed his PhD in Physics at MIT in 2022, where he worked on photonics and quantum information theory.
Nicholas Rivera is a graduate student in Professor Marin Soljačić’s group at MIT, where he researches light-matter interactions at the quantum level. He collaborates with Professor Ido Kaminer at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, using graphene plasmons and other materials to generate and manipulate photons.
Nick Rivera is a physicist who studies the interactions between matter and electromagnetic fields. He works on topics such as photonic quasiparticles, exotic lasers, quantum nonlinear optics, and 2D materials.
Quantum and nonlinear optics. Quantum mechanics is fundamental to the description of light, which is often described both as an electromagnetic wave, and a particle (the photon). The particle-nature of light leads to a host of effects that do not exist in the classical world.
