• Abstract: Coherent control of quantum transitions -- indispensable in quantum technology -- generally relies on the interaction of quantum systems with electromagnetic radiation. Here, we theoretically demonstrate that the non-radiative electromagnetic near-field of a temporally modulated free-space electron beam can be utilized for coherent control of quantum systems. We show that such manipulation can be performed with only classical control over the electron beam itself, and is readily realizable with current technology. This approach may provide a pathway towards spectrally selective quantum control with nano-scale spatial resolution, harnessing the small de Broglie wavelength of electrons.

• Characterization and Coherent Control of Spin Qubits with Modulated Electron Beam and Resonator [0.0]
  coherent dynamics and control of spin qubits are essential requirements for quantum technology. A prominent challenge for coherent control of a spin qubit in a set of qubits is the destructive effect of the applied magnetic field on the coherent dynamics of neighbouring qubits. We propose a novel scheme to characterize the coherent dynamics of these quantum systems and to coherently control them using a magnetic field.

In particular, we illustrate a possible photonic implementation where the information is encoded in the orbital angular momentum and polarization degrees of freedom of single photons.

In the last twenty years, the emergence of quantum information science has intensified research toward using these circuits as qubits in quantum information processors. The field of circuit quantum electrodynamics (QED) has now become an independent and thriving field of research in its own right.
