Increase of the cut-off value in the high order harmonics generation process is demonstrated for a special case of the driving field composed of several harmonics of a given frequency. It is shown that a moderate, of the order of 20%,…
Two Bi2201 model systems are employed to demonstrate how, beside the Cu-O \sigma-band, a second band of purely O2p\pi character can be made to cross the Fermi level owing to its sensitivity to the local crystal field. This result is…
Cooperative spontaneous recombination (superfluorescence) of electron-hole plasmas in semiconductors has been a challenge to observe due to ultrafast decoherence. We argue that superfluorescence can be achieved in quantum-confined…

An optical-vortex is an inhomogeneous light beam having a phase singularity at its axis, where the intensity of the electric and/or magnetic field may vanish. Already well studied are the paraxial beams, which are known to carry well…

The two-color strong-field mixing in gas medium is a widely-used approach to generate bright broadband terahertz (THz) radiation. Here, we present a new and counterintuitive method to promote THz performance in two-color scheme. Beyond our…
We consider the resonant generation of an electron-positron pair by two polarized photons to arbitrarily low Landau levels. The resonance occurs when the energy of one photon exceeds the one-photon generation threshold, and the energy of…
Since Landau's theory, polarons have been understood as quasiparticles in which charges are dressed by the lattice field, yet decades of transport and spectroscopic studies have yielded only static indirect renormalizations. Whether such…
We experimentally investigate the second-order quantum coherence function of a superradiant burst in a cascaded quantum system. We chirally (i.e. direction-dependently) couple roughly 900 cesium atoms to the forward propagating mode of an…
Accelerated charges emit electromagnetic radiation. According to classical electrodynamics if the charges move along sufficiently close trajectories they emit coherently, i.e., their emitted energy scales quadratically with their number…
We analytically describe the strong-field light-electron interaction using a quantized coherent laser state with arbitrary photon number. We obtain a light-electron wave function which is a closed-form solution of the time-dependent…
We investigate a two-level atom in the field of a strong laser pulse. The resulting time-dependent polarization is the source of a radiation the frequency components of which are essentially harmonics of the driving field's carrier…
We study intraband high-harmonic generation (HHG) in a crystal driven by quantum light. Previous theoretical studies have developed a framework based on coherent state expansions in terms of P distributions to consider nonclassical driving…

The interaction of matter with a quantized electromagnetic mode is considered. Representing a strong exciting field, the mode is assumed to contain a large number of photons. As a result, the material response is highly nonlinear: the…

At the core of attosecond science lies the ability to generate laser pulses of sub-femtosecond duration. In tabletop devices the process relies on high-harmonic generation, where a major challenge is to obtain high yields and high cutoff…
