A central challenge in the emerging field of free-electron quantum optics is to achieve strong interaction and single-photon nonlinearity between a flying free electron photonic mode. Existing schemes are intrinsically limited by diffraction, which puts an upper bound on length and, therefore, strength coupling nonlinearity. Here, we propose "free-electron fibers": effectively one-dimensional systems where electrons copropagate with two guided modes. The first mode applies ponderomotive trap electron, removing limitations due diffraction. second strongly couples enhanced that orders magnitude larger than previous designs. extended lengths enabled our scheme allow for nonlinearities mediated electrons. We predict novel effects system such as deterministic emission nonlinear multimode dynamics. Our proposal paves way toward realization heralded macroscopic nonclassical light generation, sources, gates controlled free-electron–photon interactions.

Free electrons are excellent tools to probe and manipulate nanoscale optical fields with emerging applications in ultrafast spectromicroscopy quantum metrology. However, advances this field hindered by the small probability associated excitation of single modes individual free electrons. Here, we theoretically investigate scaling properties electron-driven for a wide variety including plasmons metallic nanostructures Mie resonances dielectric cavities, spanning broad spectral range that extends from ultraviolet infrared region. The highest probabilities direct generation three-dimensionally confined observed at low electron mode energies structures, order-unity (∼100%) coupling demanding use <100 eV interacting polaritons down tens nanometers space. Electronic transitions artificial atoms also emerge as practical systems realize strong few-eV In contrast, conventional cavities reach maximum few-percent range. addition, show waveguide can be generated higher-than-unity efficiency phase-matched interaction grazing electrons, suggesting method create multiple excitations localized an through funneling so-generated propagating photons into confining cavity─an alternative approach electron–cavity interaction. Our work provides roadmap optimize electron–photon potential well nonlinear optics nanoscale.

Dielectric laser accelerators (DLAs) are fundamentally based on the interaction of photons with free electrons, where energy and momentum conservation satisfied by mediation a nanostructure. In this scheme, photonic nanostructure induces near-fields which transfer from photon to electron, similar inverse-Smith–Purcell effect described in metallic gratings. This, turn, may provide ground-breaking applications, as it is technology promising miniaturize particle down chip scale. This fundamental can also be used study demonstrate quantum photon-electron phenomena. The spontaneous stimulated Smith–Purcell photon-induced near-field electron-microscopy (PINEM) have evolved fruitful ground for observing effects. particular, spectrum electron has been shown discrete peaks, spaced interacting energy. correlated statistics number exchanges that took place during interaction. We give an overview DLA PINEM physics focus phase-space manipulation.

Strong coupling in light-matter systems is a central concept cavity quantum electrodynamics and essential for many technologies. Especially the optical range, full control of highly connected multi-qubit necessitates coherent probes with nanometric spatial resolution, which are currently inaccessible. Here, we propose use free electrons as high-resolution sensors strongly coupled systems. Shaping free-electron wave packet enables measurement state entire hybrid We specifically show how interference gives rise to quantum-enhanced sensing protocol position dipole orientation subnanometer emitter inside cavity. Our results showcase great versatility applicability interactions between cavities, relying on unique properties interacting flying qubits miniscule dimensions.
