Abstract

Today, I will present a recently emerging field, dubbed “free-electron quantum optics”, which explores the strong-field physics of ultrafast electrons and quantum light. We demonstrated the wave-particle duality nature of both free electrons and light in Ultrafast Transmission Electron Microscopes, Dielectric Laser Accelerators (DLA), and Quantum Free Electron Lasers (QFEL). Also, I would present a synthetic lattice for free electrons that mimics Bloch oscillation, Rabi oscillations, and discrete Talbot self-imaging. Now, instead of atoms or photons, we have created an ultrafast free-electron synthetic dimension that can serve as a novel quantum simulation platform.
