X-ray quantum optics recently gained considerable momentum, both, theoretically and experimentally. However, a severe practical limitation arises from the fact that suitable strong control laser fields are generally not available. Even x-ray free electron lasers are expected to have only a moderate impact on the nuclei, mostly, due to their narrow line width as compared to the x-ray pulse bandwidth. To circumvent this problem, we are developing methods to simulate the effect of strong control fields in certain configurations, without the need to actually apply any electromagnetic field. In this talk, I will review our recent theoretical and experimental progress in this direction.
