Hamburg Photon Science Colloquium | Free-electron quantum optics

by Claus Ropers (Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences, Göttingen, Germany)

Friday 27 Jun 2025, 14:00 → 15:30 Europe/Berlin

SemR I-III (CFEL, Bldg. 99)

Free electrons offer new opportunities at the interface of ultrafast microscopy and quantum optics. This talk discusses the coherent shaping and readout of free-electron quantum states, as well as recent observations of few-particle correlations. Specifically, Coulomb interaction induces strong momentum correlations in electron pulses, while electron-photon scattering enables tailored nonclassical light and the first realization of electron-light entanglement.

Coffee, tea and cake will be served at 1:45 pm.
