• Abstract: In this study, we investigate the potential of electronic interferometers for probing the quantum state of electromagnetic radiation on a chip at sub-nanosecond time scales. We propose to use single electron excitations propagating within an electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometer in the Aharonov-Bohm dominated regime. We discuss how information about the quantum state of the electromagnetic radiation is encoded into the interference contribution to the average outgoing electrical current. By investigating squeezed radiation and single edge magnetoplasmons probed by Leviton pulses in a realistic setup, we show that single electron interferometers have the potential to probe quantum radiation in the time domain with sub-nanosecond to pico-second time resolution. Our research could have significant implications for probing the fundamental properties of light in the microwave to tera-Hertz domains at extremely short time scales.

  We show that femtosecond extreme-ultraviolet pulses from a seeded free-electron laser can drive Rabi oscillations between the ground state and an excited state in helium atoms. The measured photoemission signal revealed an Autler-Townes doublet as well as an avoided crossing. Our results offer opportunities to carry out ultrafast manipulation of coherent processes at short wavelengths using free-electron lasers.

  Superconducting quantum circuits are one of the leading quantum computing platforms. To advance superconducting quantum computing to a point of practical importance, it is critical to identify and address material imperfections that lead to decoherence. Here, we use terahertz Scanning Near-field Optical Microscopy to probe the local dielectric properties and carrier concentrations of wet-etched aluminum resonators on silicon.

  Quantum coherence between electronic states of a photoionized molecule and the resulting process of ultrafast electron-hole migration has been put forward as a possible quantum mechanism of charge-directed reactivity governing the photoionization-induced molecular decomposition. Here, we use x-rays both to create and to directly probe quantum coherence in the photoionized amino acid glycine. Delayed x-ray pulses track the induced coherence through resonant x-ray absorption that induces Auger decay and by the photoelectron emission from sequential double photoionization.
