DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Vahid Sandoghdar (Max-Planck-Institut für die Physi
 k des Lichts\, Erlangen)\n\nLight-matter interaction at the nanometer scal
 e lies at the heart of elementary optical processes such as absorption\, e
 mission or scattering. Over the past two decades\, we have realized a seri
 es of cryogenic experiments to investigate the interaction of single photo
 ns\, single molecules and single nanoparticles under controlled conditions
 . In this presentation\, I will report on recent studies\, where we reach 
 unity efficiency in the coupling of single photons to single molecules in 
 a microcavity and exploit this system for the realization of complex hybri
 d states involving a controlled number of molecules and photons. Furthermo
 re\, I will show how single molecules can serve as ultrasensitive local th
 ermometers and as point-like sources of phonons and heat.\nIn the second p
 art of the presentation\, I will show how the underlying mechanisms that p
 lay a central role in quantum optics\, help detect\, image\, characterize\
 , and track single biological nanoparticles such as viruses and small prot
 eins with high spatial and temporal resolutions and in a label-free fashio
 n. I will argue that the theoretical and experimental toolbox of a quantum
  optician is ideally suited for branching out to the exciting field of med
 ical research which confronts many important challenges.\n\nhttps://indico
