I will present a tutorial account of some these developments. From the design of the electronic resonances and their coupling to light in nanometer thick materials a new class of light sources (quantum cascade lasers) has emerged that now cover almost the entire infrared and far-infrared spectrum, leading to an explosive growth in applications. By structuring surfaces at the sub-wavelength with nanoscale optical resonators and nanometer thin layers “metasurfaces" have emerged that have led to powerful generalizations of the laws or reflection and refraction, new thin film interferences and new ways to generate light beams and surface optical waves with “arbitrary” wavefronts. Applications of this new “flat optics” will be presented. Finally, I will show how quantum fluctuations at the nanoscale can be designed to control macroscopic quantum electrodynamical phenomena such as attractive and repulsive Casimir forces and their interaction with micro/nanomechanical structures.
