The case for quantum plasmonics pp398 - 400 Sergey I. Bozhevolnyi and Jacob B. Khurgin doi:10.1038/nphoton.2017.103 The discrete quantum nature of plasmons may be exploited to make efficient single-photon sources. Despite the losses associated with metallic resonators, advantages over dielectric counterparts exist when it comes to producing efficient quantum emitters.
