- Abstract: Owing to recent advances in laser technology, it has become important to
investigate fundamental laser-assisted processes in very powerful laser fields.
In the present work and within the framework of laser-assisted quantum
electrodynamics (QED), electron-proton scattering was considered in the
presence of a strong electromagnetic field of circular polarization. First, we
present a study of the process where we only take into account the relativistic
dressing of the electron without the proton. Then, in order to explore the
effect of the proton dressing, we fully consider the relativistic dressing of
the electron and the proton together and describe them by using Dirac-Volkov
functions. The analytical expression for the differential cross section (DCS)
in both cases is derived at lowest-order of perturbation theory. As a result,
the DCS is notably reduced by the laser field. It is found that the effect of
proton dressing begins to appear at laser field strengths greater than or equal
to $10^{10}~\text{V/cm}$ and it therefore must be taken into account. The
influence of the laser field strength and frequency on the DCS is reported. A
comparison with the Mott scattering and the laser-free results is also
included.

A single-pass quantum free-electron laser has a large interaction length that impedes the experimental realization.
Here we show that a quantum free-electron laser is closer to a coherent state in comparison to existing classical free-electron lasers.
The narrowing of the photon distribution implies reduced intensity fluctuations of the emitted radiation, which in turn lead to decreased noise in imaging experiments or to an enhanced sensitivity in interferometric applications.

We have investigated non-dipole effects in the interaction of a hydrogen atom with elliptically polarized laser pulses of intensity 10$14$ W/cm$2$ with about 8 fs duration.
The transition from linear to elliptical laser polarization leads to the twisting of the atom relative to the axis directed along the pulse propagation.

No class-B quantum density-matrix model is available to date, capable of accurately describing coherence and photon correlations within a unified theory.
Here we carry out a density-matrix theoretical approach for generic class-B lasers, and provide closed equations for the photonic and atomic reduced density matrix in the Fock basis of photons.
This model enables the study of few-photon bifurcations and non-classical photon correlations in class-B laser devices, also leveraging quantum descriptions of coherently coupled nanolaser arrays.
