Direct interaction of light with quantum systems governed by the strong force — •Andreas Ipp1, Adriana Pálffy1, Thomas J. Bürvenich2, Jörg Evers1, and Christoph H. Keitel1 — 1Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics, Heidelberg — 2Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies
The direct interaction of atoms and laser fields allows in many cases for a controlled preparation, manipulation, and measurement of the internal and external degrees of freedom of the atoms, giving rise to a multitude of applications [1]. A key ingredient to many of these schemes is the coherence of the light field, and therefore, it is not surprising that present and upcoming light sources aim at extending the availability of coherent light both towards higher frequencies and intensities. Thus the question arises whether light-matter interaction, reminiscent of quantum optics, is also possible in quantum systems characterized by much higher energy scales. For example, recently it was shown that super-intense laser fields make the direct interaction of laser and nuclei feasible [2]. Here, we discuss prospects of controlled matter-light interaction in quantum systems governed by the strong interaction. Our model systems include quark-gluon plasmas and highly excited nuclei.
