Quantum and Thermal Noise Engineering with Metamaterials

Quantum metamaterials offer multiple possibilities for the generation of non-classical light and the engineering of quantum and thermal noise. In our talk, we will review our latest advanced in the topic, describing how temporal metamaterials enable the generation of squeezed states of light, how antireflection temporal coatings facilitate quantum state frequency shifting and ultra-fast switching without thermal noise amplification, as well as the design of optical amplifiers with and enhanced noise performance based on noise correlations.
