Single Spatio-Temporal Mode Bright Twin-Beam Source Across the Near- and Mid-Infrared
Gabriel Demontigny, Patrick Cusson, Amauri Perraton Elorza +6
We introduce an ultrafast, bright, entangled twin-beam source generated by type-0 parametric down-conversion in periodically-poled lithium niobate at MHz repetition rate, with cont…
Quantum computing and quantum optics with recoiled free electrons
Maxim Sirotin, Andrei Rasputnyi, Tomáš Chlouba +2
Free electrons interacting coherently with optical fields provide a powerful platform for quantum simulation and quantum control. For kiloelectron-volt electron energies, even opti…
Kerr-induced non-Gaussianity of ultrafast bright squeezed vacuum
Andrei Rasputnyi, Ilya Karuseichyk, Gerd Leuchs +2
Non-Gaussian states of light are a critical resource for fault-tolerant quantum computing and enhanced metrology, but are typically faint and often obtained via post-selection. Her…
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…
Single-shot pulse retrieval of femtosecond bright squeezed vacuum
Yuval Kern, Ido Nisim, Michael Birk +7
Bright squeezed vacuum (BSV) is an intense quantum state of light with zero mean electric field and huge photon number fluctuations, sufficiently intense to drive extreme nonlinear…
Driving electrons at needle tips strongly with quantum light
Jonas Heimerl, Andrei Rasputnyi, Jonathan Pölloth +3
Attosecond science relies on driving electrons after photoemission with the strong optical field of a laser pulse, representing an intense classical coherent state of light. Bright…
