Abstract summary: We present a semiclassical strong-field description of the phase delays in the emission of electrons in an $omega -2omega$ setting. We show that the RABBIT-like perturbative description of phase delays breaks down for stronger fields and higher-energy electron emission.

Abstract: Phase and time delays of atomic above-threshold ionization were recently experimentally explored in an $\omega -2\omega$ setting [Zipp et al, Optica 1, 361 (2014)]. The phases of wavepackets ejected from argon by a strong $2\omega$ pulse were probed as a function of the relative phase of a weaker $\omega$ probe pulse. Numerical simulations solving the time-dependent Schr\"{o}dinger equation (TDSE) displayed a sensitive dependence of the doubly differential momentum distribution on the relative phase between the $\omega$ and $2\omega$ fields. Moreover, a surprisingly strong variation of the extracted phase delays on the intensity of the probe pulse was found. We present a semiclassical strong-field description of the phase delays in the emission of electrons in an $\omega -2\omega$ setting and apply it to atomic hydrogen. Non-perturbative effects in both the $2\omega$ pump and the $\omega$ probe field are included. The semiclassical description allows tracing phase delays to path interferences between emission during different points in time of emission within the temporal unit cell of the two-color laser field. We find good agreement between the semiclassical saddle-point approximation, the full strong field approximation (SFA), and previous results applicable in the perturbative limit of probe fields. We show that the RABBIT-like perturbative description of phase delays breaks down for stronger fields and higher-energy electron emission. In this regime, characterization of the ionization signal requires an entire ensemble of phase delays {$\delta_i(E)$} with $i=1,2,\ldots$ the difference in photon numbers of the strong $2\omega$ field involved in the interfering paths. Comparison between SFA and TDSE calculations reveals the influence of the Coulomb field even in this strong-field scenario.

Phase driven unconventional superradiance phase transition in non-Hermitian cascaded quantum Rabi cavities [0.0]
This study investigates phase-driven symmetry breaking leading to superradiance phase transitions in non-Hermitian quantum Rabi cavities. We analytically derive the superradiance phase boundary, validated by observables. We identify phase-driven first- and second-order superradiance phase transitions, focusing on the quantum criticality of the second-order transition.

Algorithmic Ground-state Cooling of Weakly-Coupled Oscillators using Quantum Logic [52.77024349608834]
We introduce a novel algorithmic cooling protocol for transferring phonons from poorly- to efficiently-cooled modes. We demonstrate it experimentally by simultaneously bringing two motional modes of a Be$+$-Ar$13+$ mixed Coulomb crystal close to their zero-point energies. We reach the lowest temperature reported for a highly charged ion, with a residual temperature of only $Tlesssim200mathrmmu K$ in each of the two modes.
