PGI Colloquium: Prof. Ido Kaminer, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Solid-State Institute, Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel
Until recently, work in quantum optics focused on light interacting with bound-electron systems such as atoms, quantum dots, and nonlinear optical crystals. In contrast, free-electron systems enable fundamentally different physical phenomena, as their energy distribution is continuous and not discrete, allowing for tunable transitions and selection rules.
