Quantum plasmonics : from quantum statistics to quantum interferences

In this thesis, we focus our attention on the excitation of Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPPs) and their propagation along metal stripes. Plasmons are characterized by losses into the metal, therefore an important step is to investigate the effect of these losses on their quantum properties. This is...
