Free Electrons to Bound Electrons and Photons Quantum Coherent Coupling
Quantum coherence, a cornerstone of modern physics, encompasses phenomena like quantum entanglement and Rabi oscillations, which lack classical analogs. FreeQCC seeks to expand the frontiers of quantum mechanics by leveraging advances in free electron beam nanophysics and quantum nano-optics. Key questions include whether a free electron can be entangled with an atom or photon, and if a solid qubit's quantum coherence can be imprinted onto a free electron beam. By exploiting the quantum properties of free electron beams and their interactions with matter and radiation, FreeQCC aims to reveal atomic-scale dynamics and quantum coherence effects previously inaccessible. The project will…
