A quantum electrodynamical approach to chirality and photonics : nonlinear optics, structured light, and optical forces

In this thesis, the theory of quantum electrodynamics (QED) is utilised to study the interaction between radiation and matter. In particular, the non-relativistic limit of the theory is employed, describing the optical processes and coupling between molecules and light. The predictive power of this...
