• Abstract summary: We show that the joint quantum state of all the optical field modes in the process of high harmonic generation is in general entangled and squeezed. We analyze how the resulting quadrature squeezing in the fundamental laser mode after the interaction can be controlled and explicitly show that all field modes are entangled.

• Abstract: Squeezing of optical fields, used as a powerful resource for many applications, and the radiation properties in the process of high harmonic generation have thus far been considered separately. In this Letter, we want to clarify that the joint quantum state of all the optical field modes in the process of high harmonic generation is in general entangled and squeezed. We show that this is already the case in the simplest scenario of driving uncorrelated atoms by a classical laser light field. The previous observation of product coherent states after the high harmonic generation process is a consequence of the assumption that the ground state depletion can be neglected, which is related to vanishing dipole moment correlations. Furthermore, we analyze how the resulting quadrature squeezing in the fundamental laser mode after the interaction can be controlled and explicitly show that all field modes are entangled.

  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 show how nonlinear optical response of matter can be controlled to generate dramatic deviations from standard picture. In particular, non-trivial quantum states of harmonics are generated as soon as one of the harmonics induces a transition between different laser-dressed states of the material system. Our analysis opens remarkable opportunities at the interface of attosecond physics and quantum optics, with implications for quantum information science.

  A quantum optical model for the high-order harmonic generation is presented, in which both the exciting field and the high harmonic modes are quantized. The model is independent from the excited material system to a large extent, and allows us to focus on the properties of the electromagnetic fields.

  We consider an ensemble of Alkali atoms that are continuously optically pumped and probed. Due to the collective scattering of photons at large optical depth, the steady state of atoms does not correspond to an uncorrelated tensor-product state. We find and characterize regimes of Raman lasing, akin to the model of a superradiant laser.

  Quantum emitters interacting with photonic band-gap materials lead to the appearance of qubit-photon bound states. We study the features of the qubit-photon bound states when the emitters couple to the bulk modes in the different phases. We consider the coupling of emitters to the edge modes appearing in the different topological phases.
