Photon-statistics force in ultrafast electron dynamics

Strong laser physics, non-classical light states and quantum information science

“…This opens the path for investigating the interplay between non-classical properties of the driving source, and quantum properties of the harmonic modes. In another paper [199] they also show, using a quantum generalization of SFA, that dynamics of matter driven by bright (intense) light significantly depend on the quantum state of the driving light, which induces an effective photon-statistics force. It is worth mentioning that these works go back to an earlier paper on "Compton Scattering Driven by Quantum Light" [256], where the authors obtain analytical results for the Compton emission spectrum when driven by thermal and squeezed vacuum states, showing a noticeable broadening of the emission spectrum relative to a coherent drive, thus reaching higher emission frequencies for the same average intensity.…”

“…Also theoretical investigations in strongly laser driven quantum correlated materials [189,193], and proposals towards the implementation of the approach in relativistic laser plasma interactions [194] have been reported. Furthermore, recent developments on the generation of high intensity squeezed light sources [195][196][197][198] have initiated experimental and theoretical investigations on the influence of the quantum features of these light states on the multi-photon processes [196,197], as well as, theoretical studies on the influence of the quantum noise of a squeezed light field on the HHG process [199].…”
