Recent experiments have considered various mesoscopic transport devices embedded within microwave cavities to investigate correlated photon-charge transfer processes. This workshop will discuss experimental and theoretical aspects relevant to these and related set-ups.

Topics to be addressed from an experimental and a theoretical perspective:
• Quantum-classical crossovers far from equilibrium
• Interaction between voltage driven charge transfer and electromagnetic excitations
• From Coulomb blockade to AC Josephson effect
• Creation of photon entanglement via charge transfer
• Quantum limited detection
• Nonlinear resonators far from equilibrium
• Photon emission from cavities coupled to double quantum dots or Josephson junctions
• Creation of coherent and/or squeezed microwave photon states
• Interaction of charge and mechanical vibrations
• Photon radiation emitted from quantum point contacts
