The nonclassical states of light, cavity quantum electrodynamics, nonlinear optics in microcavities and in other artificial structures that may enhance these effects, optical and electronic confinement in nanostructures (such as, quantum wires and quantum dots), and cavity solitons, underpin a vast range of effects, whose potential for producing major advances in science or technology, in areas such as quantum information processing or optical communications, elicits a strong interest. Our aim is the elaboration of new concepts that may lead to technological breakthroughs in the medium- and long- term, such as sources for single photons or entangled photons, optical functions with "squeezed" noise, light emitting devices with high quantum efficiency, optical memories... Investigation of the dynamics that is at the root of the fundamental bandwidth limits of devices based on these concepts constitutes an important aspect of this work.
