Electron microscopy and diffraction with ultrashort pulsed electron beams are capable of
imaging transient phenomena with the combined ultrafast temporal and atomic-scale spatial …

We introduce and theoretically analyze a scheme to prepare and detect non-Gaussian
quantum states of an optically levitated particle via the interaction with light pulses that …

Although defocus can be used to generate partial phase contrast in transmission electron
microscope images, cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) can be further improved by the …

Spatiotemporal electron-beam shaping is a bold frontier of electron microscopy. Over the
past decade, shaping methods evolved from static phase plates to low-speed electrostatic …

Spatial modulation of electron beams is an essential tool for various applications such as
nanolithography and imaging, yet its conventional implementations are severely limited and …

The inelastic interaction between flying particles and optical nanocavities gives rise to
entangled states in which some excitations of the latter are paired with momentum changes …

Similar to the optical diffraction of light passing through a material grating, the Kapitza-Dirac
effect occurs when an electron is diffracted by a standing light wave. In its original …

The ability to modulate free electrons with light has emerged as a powerful tool to produce
attosecond electron wave packets. However, research has so far aimed at the manipulation …

Bremsstrahlung—the spontaneous emission of broadband radiation from free electrons that
are deflected by atomic nuclei—contributes to the majority of X-rays emitted from X-ray tubes …

Inelastic interaction between coherent light with constant frequency and free electrons
enables periodic phase modulation of electron wave packets leading to periodic sidebands …
