SUMMARY:ICFO | HAO JENG 
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:About 15 years ago\, experiments in electron microscopes showed
  that free electrons could interact quantum-mechanically with light\, and 
 since then this novel effect has contributed greatly to our understanding 
 of materials and physical phenomena at the nanoscale. Given its apparent c
 onnections with quantum optics\, we thought it would be interesting to exp
 lore this new field from the perspective of quantum information and techno
 logy.\nIn this talk I will review recent progress along this line of resea
 rch: we have developed the capabilities to accurately control and measure 
 the quantum state of swift electrons [1]\, we have used them to produce no
 n-classical states of light [2]\, and more recently we have been able to g
 enerate quantum entanglement between electrons and single photons and reco
 nstruct their joint quantum state as a whole [3].These experiments offer a
  somewhat different view of quantum optics when compared with conventional
  approaches based on photonics\, atoms\, and molecules\, and we expect the
 ir applications to look rather different too. In the near term\, our resea
 rch efforts are directed towards the generation of quantum entanglement be
 tween electrons\, and implementations of quantum-enhanced imaging and sens
 ing schemes in electron microscopes.
