More than 100 years after its discovery and its explanation in the energy domain, the duration of the photoelectric effect is still heavily studied. The emission time of a photoelectron can be quantified by the Wigner time delay.…
We report on the observation of the circular transversal terahertz photoconductivity in monolayer graphene supplied by a back gate. The photoconductivity response is caused by the free carrier absorption and reverses its sign upon switching…

We review the propagation of electromagnetic waves in continuous matter in the presence of Lorentz-violating terms. First, we briefly discuss classical electrodynamics with regard to optical properties of a dielectric medium exhibiting the…
It has often been remarked that single-photon interference experiments, however complicated, seem to behave very much in the same way as those performed in the classical regime, using the field generated by a laser. This observation has the…
Shift current and ballistic current have been proposed to explain the bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE), and there have been experiments designed to separate the two mechanisms. These experiments are based on the assumption that under…
Detecting nonclassical properties that do not allow classical interpretation of photoelectric counting events is one of the crucial themes in quantum optics. Observation of individual nonclassical effects for a single-mode field, however,…

A photoelectron, emitted due to the absorption of light quanta as described by the photoelectric effect, is often characterized experimentally by a classical quantity, its momentum. However, since the photoelectron is a quantum object, its…
Effect of radiation of many photons by a single electron traversing a target is discussed. When the summary energy of emitted photons (the energy losses spectrum) is measured only, the photon spectrum is distorted comparing with the photon…
We report on the observation of the circular (helicity-dependent) and linear photogalvanic effects in Si-MOSFETs with inversion channels. The developed microscopic theory demonstrates that the circular photogalvanic effect in Si structures…
The ionization of an atom by a high-frequency intense laser pulse, where the energy of a single-photon is sufficient to ionize the system, is investigated from first principles. It is shown that as a consequence of an AC Stark effect in the…
An earlier forward and backward in time formalism developed by us to discuss non-relativistic electron diffraction is generalized to the relativistic case and here applied to photons. We show how naturally the zero-point energy emerges in…
This communication is devoted to a brief historical framework and to a comprehensive critical discussion concerning foundational issues of Electrodynamics. Attention is especially focused on the events which, about the end of XIX century,…
Photovoltaic effect of double quantum dots under nonuniform light field intensity has been studied theoretically. Comparing with the traditional p-n type photovoltaic effect, the inhomogeneous light field provides asymmetric potential…

Nearly 30 years ago, two-photon interference was observed, marking the beginning of a new quantum era. Indeed, two-photon interference has no classical analogue, giving it a distinct advantage for a range of applications. The peculiarities…
In a recent paper [Phys. Rev. Lett. 125, 043201 (2020)] (Ref.1) Liao et al. propose a theory of the interferometric photoemission delay based on the concepts of the photoelectron phase and photoelectron effective mass. The present comment…
We consider possibilities of modification of Maxwell's equations of electrodynamics that could have automatically led to a massive photon. Why weren't such questions considered at the time when quantum theory was introduced at the beginning…
