Abstract

We show that electron-photon and atom-photon interactions can be engineered to interfere with each other, allowing us to tailor the total spontaneous emission rate through the shape of quantum electron wavepackets.

An approach to the real-time control of the exciton-photon interaction rate in solid-state systems will be discussed. It enables the temporal shaping of single photons and the coherent coupling of excitons and phonons.

Spontaneous photon emission by shaped quantum electron wavepackets and the QED origin of bunched electron beam superradiance

Bin Zhang, Reuven Ianconescu, A. Friedman +4 more

It has been shown that the spontaneous emission rate of photons by free electrons, unlike stimulated emission, is independent of the shape or modulation of the quantum electron wavefunction (QEW). Nevertheless, here we show that the quantum state of the emitted photons is non-classical and does depend on the QEW shape. This non-classicality originates from the shape dependent off-diagonal terms of the photon density matrix. This is manifested in the Wigner distribution function and would be observable experimentally through homodyne detection techniques as a squeezing effect. Considering a scheme of electrons interaction with a single microcavity mode, we present a QED formulation of spontaneous emission by multiple modulated QEWs through a build-up process. Our findings indicate that in the case of a density modulated QEWs beam, the phase of the off-diagonal terms of the photon state emitted by the modulated QEWs is the harbinger of bunched beam superradiance, where the spontaneous emission is proportional toNe2. This observation offers a potential for enhancement of other quantum electron interactions with quantum systems by a modulated QEWs beam carrying coherence and quantum properties of the modulation.
