Sumario:[EN] We present here a brief overview of the main topics studied in the Institute for Cross Disciplinary Physics and Complex Systems (IFISC) in the line of quantum optics and information, and nanoscience. Our work ranges from the properties of light, such as the formation of optical patterns in nonlinear media and the uncertainty properties of angular momentum vs. angle, to the properties of electronic waveguides where propagation and interference effects can be investigated with great detail. We also mention some recent activity on the properties of quantum to classical transition for oscillators, the sustainability at high temperatures of their entanglement and how to probe a phase transition in a spin chain through the change of the state of the emitted light.
