Quantum Interactions in Photon-Induced Nearfield Electron Microscopy
Breakthroughs in electron microscopy over the past 15 years have introduced femtosecond laser-driven electron microscopes that probe matter and even hybrid light-matter polaritons with ultrafast time resolution. However, such systems still mostly extract classical properties of light and matter. This project will pursue the next frontier – extract quantum properties of light and matter, such as correlations and entanglement. We will develop a new concept of laser-driven electron interferometry for the goal of creating and measuring quantum correlations in the ultrafast regime. Over the past 4 years, my group has shown how free electrons can interact coherently with light in photonic…
