A field-quadrature perspective on strong-field ionization with squeezed light
Published on 2026-10-23 by Haoyu Liu, Jianmin Yuan and Xu Wang @IOP SCIENCE
Abstract: Bright squeezed vacuum (BSV) has emerged as a macroscopic nonclassical light source capable of driving strong-field processes. Yet its broad, long-tailed photon-number distribution bears little resemblance to the narrow poissonian distribution of a coherent field, obscuring how the corresponding strong-field responses are connected. We show that field-quadrature space supplies the missing continuous description: coherent, squeezed coherent, and BSV states are Gaussian wave packets distinguished [...]
Our summary: This study explores the role of bright squeezed vacuum in strong-field ionization. It establishes a continuous description of light states using field-quadrature space. The findings reveal a scaling law for ionization responses near the BSV limit, indicating a symmetry-based approach to understanding strong-field processes.

the attoquants
Published on 2026-10-20 by Varr Sndor and Gombkt? kos @IOP SCIENCE
Abstract: High-harmonic generation (HHG) is conventionally understood to produce attosecond pulse trains only when the emitted harmonics are mutually phase-locked, in accordance with the classical theory of mode-locking. In a quantum optical framework, pulse synthesis would also require a regular phase relation between the components, when the harmonic field is in a separable multimode quantum state. This requirement, however, can be circumvented for harmonic combs exhibiting intermodal entanglement. We i[...]
Our summary: Attoquants are multimode quantum states that produce attosecond pulse trains without requiring phase locking. They exhibit intermodal entanglement and can be generated through multi-atom effects during high-harmonic generation. Their properties include a locked Fourier superposition of harmonics and a nonclassical character demonstrated through photon statistics and entanglement measures.

Expansion of Bragg reflection width in elastomer-immobilized colloidal photonic crystals via binary monomer mixing
Published on 2026-10-16 by Miyu Makino, Momoko Kobori, Toshimitsu Kanai @NATURE
Abstract: Polymer Journal, Published online: 16 October 2026; doi:10.1038/s41428-026-01262-6A simple method for expanding the Bragg reflection width of elastomer-immobilized, nonclose-packed colloidal photonic crystal films using a mixture of two types of elastomer precursors was proposed. For the elastomer-immobilized, nonclose-packed colloidal photonic crystal film exclusively prepared using 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate (4HBA), the full width at half maximum of the Bragg reflection peak was 19 nm; this val[...]
Our summary: A method for expanding the Bragg reflection width in elastomer-immobilized colloidal photonic crystals was developed using a binary mixture of elastomer precursors. The addition of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate significantly increased the Bragg reflection peak width from 19 nm to 186 nm. This technique aims to enhance the use of these crystals in structural color applications and optical filtering.

Compound beams for direct experimental comparison of quantum operations
Published on 2026-10-15 by Kishore Thapliyal, Jan Pe?ina Jr, Pavel Pavl?ek and Antonn ?ernoch @IOP SCIENCE
Abstract: Compound beams composed of simple experimental blocks (detected in simultaneous detection windows) that form specific quantum-correlated structures are suggested for simulating the properties of different quantum operations used for creating highly nonclassical and entangled multi-mode states needed in quantum communication, metrology, and information protocols. Qualitative and quantitative comparison of multi-photon addition (PA) and subtraction in compound multi-mode thermal as well as sub-Poi[...]
Our summary: The study proposes compound beams for simulating quantum operations. It compares multi-photon addition and subtraction in various beam types. Results show that photon addition generally enhances nonclassicality, while subtraction is more effective in twin beams.

Emergence of nonclassical radiation in strongly laser-driven quantum systems
Published on 2026-10-15 by Ivan Gonoskov, Christian Hnecke and Stefanie Grfe @IOP SCIENCE
Abstract: We present an analytical framework for the emergence of nonclassical radiation in strongly laser-driven quantum systems, with a focus on high-order harmonic generation (HHG). Starting from a Pauli–Fierz description, we employ a parametric factorization of the coupled light–matter wavefunction that reduces the dynamics to coupled equations for a field-driven electronic state and a quantized light mode. Within this framework, we identify a simple and predictive mechanism for nonclassicality: i[...]
Our summary: This study presents an analytical framework for nonclassical radiation in strongly laser-driven quantum systems, focusing on high-order harmonic generation. It identifies a mechanism for nonclassicality based on the nonlinear electronic dipole response to light. The results connect strong-field dynamics with quantum-optical properties, aiding in the engineering of nonclassical states.
