We present a new realization of the time-domain double-slit experiment with photoelectrons, demonstrating that spontaneous radiation from a bunch of relativistic electrons can be used to control the quantum interference of single-particles. The double-slit arrangement is realized by a pair of light wave packets with attosecond-controlled spacing, which is naturally included in the spontaneous radiation from two undulators in series. Photoelectrons emitted from helium atoms are observed in the energy-domain under the condition of detecting them one by one, and the stochastic buildup of the quantum interference pattern on a detector plane is recorded.
我们提出了一种新的基于光电子的时域双缝实验实现方案,证明了相对论电子束的自发辐射可用于控制单粒子的量子干涉。双缝结构由一对具有阿秒级间隔的光脉冲包实现,这一对光脉冲包自然包含在串联的两个波荡器的自发辐射中。在逐个探测氦原子发射的光电子的条件下,在能量域中观察到光电子,记录探测器平面上量子干涉图样的随机建立过程。
