SIOM proposes programming coherent and quantum light sources with free-electron wave packets
Researcher Tian Ye and Academician Li Ruxin's team at the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics (SIOM), together with Researcher Pan Yiming of ShanghaiTech University and others, have proposed a new mechanism that uses the quadratic phase accumulated during the propagation of free-electron quantum wave packets to simultaneously achieve selectable high-harmonic bunching and synthesis of non-classical quantum light sources, linking quantum state control, high-harmonic radiation and quantum light synthesis.
Why we recommend it: The original work proposes a unified framework for free-electron lasers and quantum light sources, offering useful insights for novel light source research
