• Title: Quantum-quasiclassical analysis of center-of-mass nonseparability in hydrogen atom stimulated by strong laser fields
• Authors: Vladimir S. Melezhik
• Abstract summary: We have developed a scheme for treating the nonseparable quantum-classical dynamics of the 6D hydrogen atom in a strong laser pulse. The Schr"odinger equation for the electron and the classical Hamilton equations for the CM variables are integrated simultaneously. It is possible to detect the quantum dynamics of an electron by measuring the distribution of the CM kinetic energy.

• Abstract: We have developed a quantum-quasiclassical computational scheme for quantitative treating of the nonseparable quantum-classical dynamics of the 6D hydrogen atom in a strong laser pulse. In this approach, the electron is treated quantum mechanically and the center-of-mass (CM) motion classically. Thus, the Schr\"odinger equation for the electron and the classical Hamilton equations for the CM variables, nonseparable due to relativistic effects stimulated by strong laser fields, are integrated simultaneously. In this approach, it is natural to investigate the idea of using the CM-velocity spectroscopy as a classical ``build-up'' set up for detecting the internal electron quantum dynamics. We have performed such an analysis using the hydrogen atom in linearly polarized laser fields as an example and found a strong correlation between the CM kinetic energy distribution after a laser pulse and the spectral density of electron kinetic energy. This shows that it is possible to detect the quantum dynamics of an electron by measuring the distribution of the CM kinetic energy.

  We study theoretically an array of two-level qubits moving relative to a one-dimensional waveguide. When the frequency of this motion approaches twice the qubit resonance frequency, it induces parametric generation of photons and excitation of the qubits. We develop a comprehensive general theoretical framework that incorporates both perturbative diagrammatic techniques and a rigorous master-equation approach.

  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.

  We consider the quantum-optical correlations of CL from electrons that are previously shaped by a laser field. The main prediction here is the presence of phase correlations between the emitted CL field and the electron-modulating laser. Since electron beams can be focused to below one Angstrom, their ability to transfer optical coherence could enable ultra precise excitation, manipulation, and spectroscopy of nanoscale quantum systems.
