In a quantum mechanical description of the free-electron laser (FEL) the electrons jump on discrete momentum ladders, while they follow continuous trajectories according to the classical description. In order to observe the transition from…

A quantum fluid model is used to describe the interacion of a nondegenerate cold relativistic electron beam with an intense optical wiggler taking into account the beam space-charge potential and photon recoil effect. A nonlinear set of…

A relativistic quantum mechanical model to describe the quantum FEL dynamics has been developed. Neglecting the spin of electrons in the impacting beam, this model is based on the Klein-Gordon equation coupled to the Poisson equation for…

We examine the experimental requirements for realizing a high-gain Quantum free-electron laser (Quantum FEL). Beyond fundamental constraints on electron beam and undulator, we discuss optimized interaction geometries, include coherence…

A quantum model of a free-electron laser is considered for the many electron system. An exact expression for the evolution of the laser amplitude is obtained in the framework of the coherent state consideration. Reliable conditions for the…

Previous models of the quantum regime of operation of the Free Electron Laser (QFEL) have performed an averaging and the application of periodic boundary conditions to the coupled Maxwell - Schrodinger equations over short, resonant…

If the quantum mechanical recoil of the electron due to its scattering from the undulator and laser fields dominates the dynamics, a regime of the free-electron laser emerges where quantum effects lead to a drastic change in the radiation…

A quantum kinetic equation coupled with Maxwell's equation is used to estimate the laser power required at an XFEL facility to expose intrinsically quantum effects in the process of QED vacuum decay via spontaneous pair production. A 9…

We present for the first time the concept of a seeded {\gamma} quantum Free-Electron-Laser (QFEL) at 478 keV, which has very different properties compared to a classical. The basic concept is to produce a highly brilliant {\gamma} beam via…

We describe a free-electron laser (FEL) in the Self Amplified Spontaneous Emission (SASE) regime quantizing the electron motion and taking into account propagation effects. We demonstrate quantum purification of the SASE spectrum, i.e., in…

We solve the long-time dynamics of a high-gain free-electron laser in the quantum regime. In this regime each electron emits at most one photon on average, independently of the initial field. In contrast, the variance of the photon…

Several methods have been proposed in the literature to improve Free Electron Laser output by transforming the electron phase-space before entering the FEL interaction region. By utilising `beam by design' with novel undulators and other…

We derive an effective Dicke model in momentum space to describe collective effects in the quantum regime of a free-electron laser (FEL). The resulting exponential gain from a single passage of electrons allows the operation of a Quantum…

We investigate theoretically the quantum-coherence properties of the cathodoluminescence (CL) emission produced by a temporally modulated electron beam. Specifically, we consider the quantum-optical correlations of CL from electrons that…

It is shown via theory and simulation that the resonant frequency of a Free Electron Laser may be modulated to obtain an FEL interaction with a frequency bandwidth which is at least an order of magnitude greater than normal FEL operation.…

In quantum mechanics, the expectation value of a quantity on a quantum state, provided that the state itself gives in the classical limit a motion of a particle in a definite path, in classical limit goes over to Fourier series form of the…

This report is a primer introduction on the sources of coherent syncrotron radiation from FELs compared to conventional lasers. Even though the underlying mechanisms are different, FELs can be considered a laser source to all effects. In…

Quantum optics is a field of research based on the quantum theory of light. Here, we show that the classical theory of light can be equally effective in explaining a cornerstone of quantum optics: the quantization of the free radiation…

In this letter we specify the physical parameters necessary to operate a SASE FEL in the quantum regime with a laser wiggler. We also show that this is more feasible in the quantum regime than in the classical one. Specific examples are…

The density matrix in the Lindblad form is used to describe the behavior of the Free-Electron Laser (FEL) operating in a quantum regime. The detrimental effects of the spontaneous emission on coherent FEL operation are taken into account.…
