Quantum Coherent Control: Self–Interference of Electron Beams with Nanostructures
NanoBeam will develop new directions in electron microscopy, materials, and optical sciences to control and characterize the ultrafast responses of polaritons and electronic states in materials. This will be achieved by (i) a ubiquitous control of slow and fast electron wave packets and (ii) realization of fully coherent light sources using shaped electron wave packets interacting with nanostructures. Quantum coherent control traditionally employs a sequence of optical pulses to direct the response of condensed matter systems towards a desired state, as a tool for novel quantum technologies. This control system has been only recently implemented in electron microscopes, by combining lasers…
