Geometric Control of Cat States in High Harmonic Generation

Arti Gaharwar, Rocío Borrego-Varillas, Marcelo F. Ciappina +6

High-harmonic generation (HHG) provides a powerful platform for exploring the interaction between intense laser fields and matter on ultrafast timescales. Beyond its conventional d…

Attosecond metrology of bright quantum light

P. Stammer, J. Rivera-Dean, E. Pisanty +1

Attosecond metrology is the ability to measure ultrafast optical light-wave oscillations, yet its approach has been limited to classical fields. Hence, the influence of the fluctua…

Two-Electron Effects Extend High-Harmonic Generation into the keV Regime

Isobel McSweeney, Andres Marchisio, Javier Rivera-Dean +4

Two-electron processes can generate high harmonics beyond the conventional single-active-electron cutoff. Motivated by recent experimental evidence of an extended secondary plateau…

Emergence of Gaussian entanglement and non-Gaussianity in high-harmonic generation driven by bright squeezed light

J. Rivera-Dean, M. Even-Tzur, M. F. Ciappina +3

High harmonic generation (HHG) is a highly nonlinear optical process in which radiation from a strong driving field is up-converted into its high-order harmonics. In atomic systems…

Photon anti-bunching in high harmonic generation

Philipp Stammer, Javier Rivera-Dean, Maciej Lewenstein

Photon anti-bunching is the direct evidence for the existence of photons without having a classical counterpart. Unlike bunching of photons, which can have a semi-classical descrip…

Erasing photons from bright squeezed vacuum light via above-threshold ionization

J. Rivera-Dean, T. Rook, G. Singh +4

While the interface between strong-field physics and quantum optics offers a unique regime for combining extreme nonlinearity with quantum optical resources, its potential for gene…

Symmetry breaking by quantum light in solid-state high-harmonic generation

P. Stammer, J. Rivera-Dean, D. Kim +3

Symmetry governs nonlinear interactions in condensed matter systems, particularly in high-harmonic generation (HHG), the interplay between the driving field and crystal symmetries…

Fluctuation-induced symmetry breaking in high harmonic generation for bicircular quantum light

Philipp Stammer, Camilo Granados, Javier Rivera-Dean

Symmetries are ubiquitous in physics and play a pivotal role in light-matter interactions, where they determine the selection rules governing allowed atomic transitions and define…

Generation of circular polarized high-order harmonics from single color quantum light

Lidija Petrovic, Philipp Stammer, Maciej Lewenstein +1

The atomic response to an ultra-intense driving field produces a characteristic high-harmonic spectrum featuring a rapid drop in intensity for the lower harmonics, followed by a pl…
