Abstract
The temporal modulation of free electrons can alter their quantum interaction with optical fields and with excitations in materials. We present how this temporal shaping can be utilized to probe and induce quantum coherence in materials and to create non-gaussian states of light. The coherent interaction between free electrons and optical nearfields scattered from illuminated nanostructures provides an efficient way to modulate the temporal distribution of free electrons. In this seminar, I will discuss how this new degree of freedom allows us to perform tasks such as quantum measurements and coherent control. Additionally, we show how the temporal modulation changes the radiation pattern of the free electron, achieving optical cat states and GKP states with high fidelity |
