In contrast to all existing free-electron lasers (FELs), which purely rely on classical physics, quantum effects are crucial for the ‘Quantum FEL’ [1]. In this device the discrete recoil of the electron dominates the dynamics, which is characterized by two resonant momentum levels [2,3].
We present intuitive arguments for the transition to the quantum regime and discuss quantities such as gain and photon statistics in this limit. Moreover, we identify effects which distinguish the Quantum FEL from the classical FEL.
