Abstract

Certain plasmonic and derived systems such as hyperbolic metamaterials promise large and broadband enhancements of the photonic density of states which, in turn, lead to corresponding enhancements of light-matter interaction. In this talk, recent theoretical advances regarding the most simple settings, i.e., planar materials and one- and zero-photon effects (spontaneous emission, Casimir-Polder force, and quantum friction) will be discussed with an emphasis regarding the appropriateness of different material models [1,2] and the validity of certain approximation schemes such as the Markov and the local thermal equilibrium approximation [3,4,5].
