Phase-Programmable Free Electron Quantum States in Synthetic Momentum Space
Alatz Alvarez-Ahedo, Miriam Lazo, Tian-Niu Xu +3
Light-electron interactions generate synthetic momentum-space dynamics that can be used to engineer free electron quantum states. Here we develop coherent control protocols in whic…
Ultrafast Stern-Gerlach and Anomalous Bragg Diffraction Regimes of Low-energy Free Electron Interaction with Light
Yongcheng Ding, Zirui Zhao, Bin Zhang +3
Recent advances in photon-induced near-field electron microscopy (PINEM) have significantly impacted allied disciplines such as laser-driven accelerators and free electron radiatio…
Auger photoemission as a laser-like coherent cathode
Yushan Zeng, Bin Zhang, Kecheng Cao +2
In pursuit of quantum advancements across disciplines, a bright and coherent electron source is expected to be a cornerstone of diverse applications including electron microscopy,…
Shape-Dependence of Spontaneous Photon Emission by Quantum Electron Wavepackets and the QED Origin of Bunched Electron Beam Superradiance
Bin Zhang, Reuven Ianconescu, Aharon Friedman +4
It has been shown that the spontaneous emission rate of photons by free electrons, unlike stimulated emission, is independent of the shape or modulation of the quantum electron wav…
Free electron topological bound state induced by light beam with a twisted wavefront
Yiming Pan, Ruoyu Yin, Yongcheng Ding +3
Recent advances in ultrafast electron emission, microscopy, and diffraction have demonstrated a remarkable ability to manipulate free electrons with quantum coherence using light b…
