Potential opportunity ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: *Miriam Howland* &lt;Miriam.Howland(a)iop.org&gt; Date: Friday, March 18, 2016 Subject: Invitation for special issue on quantum plasmonics in Journal of Optics To: alan(a)aspuru.com Dear Professor Asupuru-Guzik, *Special Issue on quantum plasmonics* *Journal of Optics* (JOPT) occasionally commissions special issues that are designed to highlight particular topics in a timely manner. In light of the high interest of *quantum plasmonics, *Professor Zubin Jacob (Purdue University, USA), Professor Francisco J Garcia-Vidal (U Autonoma de Madrid, Spain) and Professor Eric Potma (UC Irvine, USA), acting as Guest Editors, would like to invite you to contribute an article in this subject area to a special issue of JOPT. The submission deadline is* 30 June 2016*. Individual articles will be published online *as early as possible after acceptance*. Publication will not be delayed awaiting completion of the whole special issue. All articles will feature on a dedicated special issue web page ( *http://iopscience.iop.org/2040-8986/focus/Special-issue-on-quantum-plasmonics* <http://iopscience.iop.org/2040-8986/focus/Special-issue-on-quantum-plasmonics>), where you can find the articles which have been published so far. This page will continue to be gradually populated as more articles are published. The issue will be widely promoted to the optics and photonics communities, ensuring your work receives maximum visibility. It is our aim to attract the most active researchers in the field to contribute to the special issue, and to make it an important reference point in the development of quantum plasmonics research. Submissions are invited for *original research articles*. The issue will address a range of topics, including: · Weak coupling and giant Purcell enhancement in plasmonics · Strong coupling and time dynamics of single emitters near plasmonic nanoparticles · Quantum size effects in plasmonic structures · Single photon emitters coupled to plasmonic modes · SPASER · Nanoengineering of spontaneous emission from Nitrogen Vacancy Centers in diamond · Quantum nanophotonics with metamaterials · Entangled and squeezed plasmons If you feel that you and/or your colleagues can contribute to this issue we will consider manuscripts until *30 June 2016*. All manuscripts will be refereed according to the normal practice and quality standards of JOPT. Please find some details below on how to submit. Should you have any questions regarding the preparation of manuscripts or the suitability of your work for this issue, please do not hesitate to contact me. I would be grateful if you could indicate *your intention to submit *or not (together with a provisional title) *by 29 March 2016*, if possible. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
