- Abstract: We investigate the frontier between classical and quantum plasmonics in
highly doped semiconductor layers. The choice of a semiconductor platform
instead of metals for our study permits an accurate description of the quantum
nature of the electrons constituting the plasmonic response, which is a crucial
requirement for quantum plasmonics. Our quantum model allows us to calculate
the collective plasmonic resonances from the electronic states determined by an
arbitrary one-dimensional potential. Our approach is corroborated with
experimental spectra, realized on a single quantum well, in which higher order
longitudinal plasmonic modes are present. We demonstrate that their energy
depends on the plasma energy, as it is also the case for metals, but also on
the size confinement of the constituent electrons. This work opens the way
towards the applicability of quantum engineering techniques for semiconductor
plasmonics.

We study the capabilities of modulated electron wavefunctions for the preparation and readout of the quantum state of the quantum emitters (QEs) they interact with.
First, we consider periodic electron combs, which do not produce QE-electron entanglement, preserving the purity of the QE while inducing Rabi-like dynamics in it.
We extend our findings to realistic, non-ideally modulated electron wavepackets, showing that the phenomenology persists.

We theoretically investigate the generation of emphmotional entanglement between two electrons via their unscreened Coulomb interaction.
We compute the motional energy spectra of the electrons, as well as their entanglement, by diagonalizing the model Hamiltonian with respect to a single-particle Hartree product basis.
In particular, the theoretical tools developed here can be used for fine tuning and optimization of control parameters in future experiments with electrons trapped above the surface of superfluid helium or solid neon.
