Introduction to x-ray quantum optics — •Jörg Evers — Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik, Heidelberg

Over the last decades, tremendous progress has been made in the understanding and control of light-matter interactions. A particular driver in the field is quantum optics, which exploits quantum mechanical effects in this interaction, up to a point that now quantum technologies move into the focus of research. This progress was fueled and to a large degree relied on the parallel development of of suitable laser sources. Motivated by these developments, recent improvements in existing and upcoming x-ray light sources prompt the question, whether similar concepts could also be exploited at x-ray energies. From the viewpoint of x-ray physics, this would not only be essential for fully exploiting the potential of these machines, but could also pave the way for new applications. In turn, from the viewpoint of light-matter interactions, x-ray quantum optics could also evolve into a fruitful new platform complementary to the existing ones. In this tutorial, I will introduce x-ray quantum optics, review some of the recent progress, and point out future challenges.
