There is a great demand for novel intelligent devices and systems that can overcome the limitations of conventional technologies based solely on electron transfer, including the need to reduce energy consumption and solve computationally intractable problems. A promising solution is nanophotonics, which has been extensively studied with the aim of unveiling and exploiting light–matter interactions that occur at a scale below the wavelength of light. We consider that the unique attributes of nanophotonics can also be utilized in achieving novel intelligent capabilities. We present three examples by exploiting near-field optical processes such as energy transfer, hierarchical properties, and large momentum, what we can summarize as intelligent nanophotonic architecture.
