How is Switzerland's performance perceived abroad? What role do women play in this? Women’s contributions and their stories often go untold, their voices unheard, their impact is overlooked. The Federal Department of Foreign Affairs is drawing attention to this on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of national women's suffrage in Switzerland.

Prof. Lukas Novotny, Dr. Martin Frimmer, and Dr. Gabriele Rainò discuss the approach they are pursuing at ETH Zürich to provide students with an education in quantum engineering at Master's level.

In nanophotonic devices, light and matter can be coupled in ways that give rise to new quantum phenomena. Theoretical and experimental work now establishes that are physical limits to just how strong light–matter coupling can be made in such systems.
