Room-Temperature Quantum Optomechanics and Free-Electron Quantum Optics

Quantum optics studies how photons interact with other forms of matter, the understanding of which was crucial for the development of quantum mechanics as a whole. Starting from the photoelectric effect, the quantum property of light has led to the develop ...

Hierarchy of quasisymmetries and degeneracies in the CoSi family of chiral crystal materials

Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Chunyu Guo, Yi-Chiang Sun

In materials, certain approximated symmetry operations can exist in a lower-order approximation of the effective model but are good enough to influence the physical responses of the system, and these approximated symmetries were recently dubbed "quasisymme ...

Resonant Inelastic X-Ray Scattering Study of Electron-Exciton Coupling in High-T-c Cuprates

Fabrizio Carbone, Thorsten Schmitt, Ivan Madan, Christophe Berthod, Francesco Barantani, Yi Tseng, Dirk Van der Marel

Explaining the mechanism of superconductivity in the high-T-c cuprates requires an understanding of what causes electrons to form Cooper pairs. Pairing can be mediated by phonons, the screened Coulomb force, spin or charge fluctuations, excitons, or by a c ...

Cavity-mediated electron-photon pairs

Tobias Kippenberg, Rui Ning Wang, Zheru Qiu, Yujia Yang, Junqiu Liu, Arslan Sajid Raja, Guanhao Huang

Quantum information, communication, and sensing rely on the generation and control of quantum correlations in complementary degrees of freedom. Free electrons coupled to photonics promise novel hybrid quantum technologies, although single-particle correlat ...

Ultrafast Transverse Modulation of Free Electrons by Interaction with Shaped Optical Fields

Fabrizio Carbone, Ivan Madan, Alexey Sapozhnik, Thomas La Grange, Phoebe Marie Tengdin, Giovanni Maria Vanacore, Ido Kaminer, Simone Gargiulo, Francesco Barantani, Veronica Leccese

Spatiotemporal electron-beam shaping is a bold frontier of electron microscopy. Over the past decade, shaping methods evolved from static phase plates to low-speed electrostatic and magnetostatic displays. Recently, a swift change of paradigm utilizing lig ...

Time- and Angle-Resolved Photoelectron Spectroscopy of Solar Materials

Serhii Polishchuk

Natural foundations defining the manner in which a solid material interacts with optical radiation are primarily encoded in the material's momentum-dependent band structure and the microscopic details of the electron-lattice interactions. An access to this ...

Magnonic crystals with reconfigurable magnetic defects for spin-based microwave electronics

Korbinian Baumgärtl

Collective spin excitations can propagate in magnetically ordered materials in the form of waves. These so-called spin waves (SWs) or magnons are promising for low-power beyond-CMOS information processing, which does not rely anymore on the lossy movement ...

Spatio-temporal shaping of a free-electron wave function via coherent light-electron interaction

Fabrizio Carbone, Ivan Madan, Giovanni Maria Vanacore

The past decade has witnessed a quantum revolution in the field of computation, communication and materials investigation. A similar revolution is also occurring for free-electron based techniques, where the classical treatment of a free electron as a poin ...

Electrons leave the flatland: out-of-plane charge dynamics in layered materials

Edoardo Martino

The goal of this thesis is to explore the "neglected" third dimension of layered materials, by studying the interlayer charge dynamics through dc conductivity, optical spectroscopy and ab-initio calculations. This project was designed to respond to the gro ...

Direct Observation of the Statics and Dynamics of Emergent Magnetic Monopoles in a Chiral Magnet

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Jonathan White

In the three-dimensional (3D) Heisenberg model, topological point defects known as spin hedgehogs behave as emergent magnetic monopoles, i.e., quantized sources and sinks of gauge fields that couple strongly to conduction electrons, and cause unconventiona ...
