Phase-sensitive avalanche quantum sensing of sub-shot-noise fields

Nikolai D. Klimkin, Misha Ivanov

Avalanche-based detection of small perturbations is commonplace in precision measurement devices from Geiger counters to single-photon avalanche detectors. Here, we expand this pri…

Generation of Stable Peak-Power Similaritons through Gain-Managed Nonlinearity

Haoyuan He, Maksim Kozlov, Alexander Gabriel Loehr +3

Fiber lasers and amplifiers offer attractive alternatives to conventional solid-state systems. However, generation of high-energy ultrashort laser pulses in fibers faces challenges…

Quantum Optics of harmonic generation in the strongly driven Jaynes-Cummings-type system

M Suman, Sili Yi, Maria Chekhova +1

We adapt the Jaynes-Cummings model to study the interface of cavity quantum electrodynamics with strong field and attosecond physics. We show how multi-photon resonances in the Jay…

Extreme Ultrafast Dynamics of the Refractive Index in Transparent Conductive Oxides: Theory and Experiment

Noa Konforty, Graham G. Brown, Ohad Segal +5

Recent experiments in transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) have revealed light-induced order-unity variations in the refractive index occurring at extreme time scales, as short as…

Valley polarization driven by two-color circular fields: a rotating frame and strong-field perspective

Rui E. F. Silva, Olga Smirnova, Misha Ivanov +1

Valley polarization in hexagonal materials driven by the form of the lightwave and its orientation relative to the lattice, rather than solely by the helicity of the driver, has re…

Coherent control of chirality in Weyl semimetals

Amar Bharti, Margarita Khokhlova, Misha Ivanov +1

Weyl fermions in inversion-symmetric Weyl semimetals occur in pairs of opposite chirality, leading to symmetric optical responses under circularly-polarised light and a vanishing n…

Sub-cycle field-driven dynamical Berry phase in solids

Lior Faeyrman, Jianing Zhang, Misha Ivanov +3

In quantum mechanics, a wavepacket acquires a geometric phase, known as the Berry phase, as it evolves along a closed trajectory in parameter space. In condensed matter systems, th…

Attosecond quantum spectroscopy with entangled photon pairs

Zijian Lyu, Fengxiao Sun, Sili Yi +6

Bright squeezed light from parametric down-conversion in the infrared (IR) frequency range has triggered the emergence of attosecond quantum optics -- a new research field at the i…

Attosecond-resolved quantum fluctuations of light and matter

Matan Even Tzur, Chen Mor, Noa Yaffe +10

Until recently, attosecond optical spectroscopy and quantum optics evolved along non-overlapping directions. In attosecond science, attosecond pulses have been regarded as classica…
