• Abstract: Despite exhibiting novel radiation features, the operation of the proposed quantum free-electron laser would have the drawback that the number of emitted photons is limited by one per electron, significantly reducing the output power of such a device. We show that relying on different resonances of the initial momentum of the electrons increases the number of emitted photons, but also increases the required length of the undulator impeding an experimetal realization. Moreover, we investigate how multiphoton processes influence the dynamics in the deep quantum regime.

  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 report on a quantum-nonlinear wave-mixing experiment where resonant lasers and an optical cavity define a closed cycle between several ground and excited states of a single atom. We show that, for strong atom-cavity coupling and steady-state driving, the entanglement between the atomic states and intracavity photon number suppresses the excited-state population via quantum interference. The system dynamics then result from transitions within a harmonic ladder of entangled dark states, one for each cavity photon number, and a quantum Zeno blockade that generates antibunching in the photons emitted from the cavity.
