The Institut de Ciències
Fotòniques is a non-profit agency founded in 2002 in Barcelona
aimed at advancing the limits of scientific and technological knowledge
in optical sciences including quantum optics, nonlinear optics,
biophotonics and nano-optics. ICFO hosts 15 research groups who
use some 45 laboratories and one nanophotonics fabrication facility
in a 9000 m2 dedicated building. The center is engaged in both research,

European research centers and universities, as well as with leading
