Electron decoherence in cylindrical holes and circular apertures
Cruz I. Velasco, F. Javier Garc\'ıa de Abajo
The coherence of free electrons sets fundamental limits on the resolution and contrast of phase-sensitive electron microscopy because coherence is lost whenever the electron leaves…
Unity-order coupling between free electrons and multiphoton waveguided Fock states
L. Prelat, S. Abdullah, C. I. Velasco +1
Electron beams enable highly localized near-field excitation of waveguided optical modes, yet their coupling is typically limited by short interaction times along straight-line tra…
Free-electron decoherence: Theory and applications
Cruz I. Velasco, Valerio Di Giulio, F. Javier García de Abajo
Electron microscopy relies on the spatial coherence of electron beams to generate atomic-scale images using interference and diffraction, which can be degraded by inelastic scatter…
Quantum sensing and metrology with free electrons
Cruz I. Velasco, F. Javier García de Abajo
The quantum properties of matter and radiation can be leveraged to surpass classical limits of sensing and detection. Quantum optics does so by creating and measuring nonclassical…
Zeptosecond free-electron compression through temporal lensing
Xin Jin, Cruz I. Velasco, F. Javier García de Abajo
The pursuit of ever-shorter time scales is a frontier in modern physics, exemplified by the synthesis of attosecond light pulses -- an achievement made possible by coherently super…
Spectrometer-Free Electron Spectromicroscopy
F. Javier García de Abajo, Cruz I. Velasco
We introduce an approach for performing spectrally resolved electron microscopy without the need for an electron spectrometer. The method involves an electron beam prepared as a co…
Roadmap for Quantum Nanophotonics with Free Electrons
F. Javier García de Abajo, Albert Polman, Cruz I. Velasco +44
Over the past century, continuous advancements in electron microscopy have enabled the synthesis, control, and characterization of high-quality free-electron beams. These probes ca…
Free-Space Optical Modulation of Free Electrons in the Continuous-Wave Regime
Cruz I. Velasco, F. Javier García de Abajo
The coherent interaction between free electrons and optical fields can produce free-electron compression and push the temporal resolution of ultrafast electron microscopy to the at…
Radiative loss of coherence in free electrons: a long-range quantum phenomenon
Cruz I. Velasco, Valerio Di Giulio, F. Javier García de Abajo
Quantum physics rules the dynamics of small objects as they interact over microscopic length scales. Nevertheless, quantum correlations involving macroscopic distances can be obser…
Photon generation and entanglement in a double superconducting cavity
Cruz I. Velasco, Nicolás F. Del Grosso, Fernando C. Lombardo +2
We study the dynamical Casimir effect in a double superconducting cavity in a circuit quantum electrodynamics architecture. Parameters in the quantum circuit are chosen in such a w…
