- Abstract: We present a comprehensive theoretical investigation of high-order harmonic
generation in H$_2^+$ molecular ions within a quantum optical framework. Our
study focuses on characterizing various quantum optical and quantum information
measures, highlighting the versatility of HHG in two-center molecules towards
quantum technology applications. We demonstrate the emergence of entanglement
between electron and light states after the laser-matter interaction. We also
identify the possibility of obtaining non-classical states of light in targeted
frequency modes by conditioning on specific electronic quantum states, which
turn out to be crucial in the generation of highly non-classical entangled
states between distinct sets of harmonic modes. Our findings open up avenues
for studying strong-laser field-driven interactions in molecular systems, and
suggest their applicability to quantum technology applications.
