Nonlinear Compton scattering in a quantized pump field

Kenan Qu

We develop a fully quantized theory of nonlinear Compton scattering driven by a single-mode quantum field. Exact quantum-Volkov states retain pump depletion, back-action, and final…

Single-Shot Intensity-Correlation Diffractive X-ray Imaging of ICF Plasmas

Kenan Qu, Daniel Bhatti, Nathaniel J. Fisch

X-ray radiography of inertial confinement fusion plasmas is currently limited to several-micron resolution by geometric blur, diffraction, and photon-throughput tradeoffs. We propo…

Nonlinear Compton scattering in a frequency-modulated field

Antonino Di Piazza, Kenan Qu

When an electron is accelerated, it emits radiation. In the relativistic quantum realm the elementary radiation process is the emission of a single photon, a process known as nonli…

Detecting Solenoidal Plasma Turbulence via Laser Polarization Rotation

Kenan Qu, Nathaniel J. Fisch

Recent theoretical studies suggest that solenoidal turbulence can significantly enhance fusion reactivity, yet no standard diagnostic exists to directly measure these solenoidal fl…

Control of nonlinear Compton scattering in a squeezed vacuum

A. Di Piazza, K. Qu

Electromagnetic radiation by accelerated charges is a fundamental process in physics. Here, we introduce a quantum-optical framework for controlling the emission of radiation of an…

Ultra-strong Quantum Squeezing Mediated by Plasma Waves

Kenan Qu, Nathaniel J. Fisch

Quantum squeezed states enable precision measurements beyond the standard quantum limit, but conventional solid-state media fundamentally limit pump intensities to the ionization t…
