Abstract summary: vortex particles with an orbital angular momentum would come in handy for a number of experiments in atomic physics, nuclear, hadronic, and accelerator physics. We show that the vortex states of in principle arbitrary particles can be generated during photon emission in helical undulators, via Cherenkov radiation, in collisions of charged particles with intense laser beams.

Abstract: Physics of structured waves is currently limited to relatively small particle energies as the available generation techniques are only applicable to the soft $X$-ray twisted photons, to the beams of electron microscopes, to cold neutrons, or non-relativistic atoms. The highly energetic vortex particles with an orbital angular momentum would come in handy for a number of experiments in atomic physics, nuclear, hadronic, and accelerator physics, and to generate them one needs to develop alternative methods, applicable for ultrarelativistic energies and for composite particles. Here, we show that the vortex states of in principle arbitrary particles can be generated during photon emission in helical undulators, via Cherenkov radiation, in collisions of charged particles with intense laser beams, in such scattering or annihilation processes as $e\mu \to e\mu, ep \to ep, e^-e^+ \to p\bar{p}$, and so forth. The key element in obtaining them is the postselection protocol due to entanglement between a pair of final particles and it is largely not the process itself. The state of a final particle -- be it a $\gamma$-ray, a hadron, a nucleus, or an ion -- becomes twisted if the azimuthal angle of the other particle momentum is measured with a large error or is not measured at all. As a result, requirements to the beam transverse coherence can be greatly relaxed, which enables the generation of highly energetic vortex beams at accelerators and synchrotron radiation facilities, thus making them a new tool for hadronic and spin studies.

Generation of many-body entanglement by collective coupling of atom pairs to cavity photons [0.0]
We identify a controllable and scalable catalyst that allows metrologically useful entangled states to be generated at a high rate. The time scale of entanglement formation can be much shorter than for bare atom-atom interactions, effectively eliminating the decoherence due to photon losses. Our protocol may find applications in future quantum sensors or other systems where controllable and scalable many-body entanglement is desired.

Unambiguous detection of high energy vortex states via the superkick effect [8.906951616147763]
A particle prepared in a vortex state possesses a non-zero orbital angular momentum projection on the propagation direction. Low-energy vortex photons, electrons, neutrons, and helium atoms have been demonstrated in experiment and found numerous applications. We propose a new diagnostic method based on the so-called superkick effect, which can unambiguously detect the presence of a phase vortex.

The maximum refractive index of an atomic crystal $\unicode{x2013}$ from quantum optics to quantum chemistry [52.77024349608834]
We investigate the index of an ordered arrangement of atoms, as a function of atomic density. In quantum optics, we show that ideal light-matter interactions can have a single-mode nature. At the onset of quantum chemistry, we show how two physical mechanisms can open up inelastic or spatial multi-mode light scattering processes.

Bound state of distant photons in waveguide quantum electrodynamics [137.6408511310322]
Quantum correlations between distant particles remain enigmatic since the birth of quantum mechanics. We predict a novel kind of bound quantum state in the simplest one-dimensional setup of two interacting particles in a box. Such states could be realized in the waveguide quantum electrodynamics platform.

Quantum density matrix theory for a laser without adiabatic elimination of the population inversion: transition to lasing in the class-B limit [62.997667081978825]
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.
