• Abstract: The resonant interaction between x-ray photons and nuclei is one of the most exciting subjects of the burgeoning field of x-ray quantum optics. A resourceful platform used so far are thin-film x-ray cavities with embedded layers or M\"ossbauer nuclei such as $^{57}\mathrm{Fe}$. A new quantum optical model based on the classical electromagnetic Green's function is developed to investigate theoretically the nuclear response inside the x-ray cavity. The model is versatile and provides an intuitive picture about the influence of the cavity structure on the resulting spectra. We test its predictive powers with the help of the semiclassical coherent scattering formalism simulations and discuss our results for increasing complexity of layer structures.

  The interaction of electrons with strong laser fields is usually treated with semiclassical theory. An analytic method is proposed to answer this question in the framework of nonrelativistic quantum electrodynamics. Our formalism is suitable to analyse, among various quantal effects, the possible role of arbitrary photon statistics of the incoming field.

  Thin-film nanostructures with embedded M"ossbauer nuclei have been successfully used for x-ray quantum optical applications. Here we address theoretically a new geometry, in which hard x-rays are coupled in forward incidence. We show that it combines aspects of both nuclear forward scattering, visible as dynamical beating in the grazing-temporal response, and the resonance structure from grazing incidence, visible in the spectrum of guided modes.

  We consider an ensemble of Alkali atoms that are continuously optically pumped and probed. Due to the collective scattering of photons at large optical depth, the steady state of atoms does not correspond to an uncorrelated tensor-product state. We find and characterize regimes of Raman lasing, akin to the model of a superradiant laser.

  Two theoretical models are developed for the system of x-ray thin-film planar cavity with inner-shell electronic resonances. The typical cavity effects of cavity enhanced decay rate, cavity induced energy shift and the Fano interference could be phenomenologically interpreted. The effective energy-level scheme indicates that the cavity effect acts on the regulation of the intermediated core-hole state.
