Introducing light optics in state-of-the-art electron microscopes enabled quantum-coherent electron-light interaction [1] and the study of ultrafast nanoscale processes using coherent electron pulses [2]. Recently, high-Q integrated photonics extended these capabilities to continuous electron beams for µeV-resolved electron spectroscopy [3].
Here, we show the coupling of single electrons and photons at a high-Q integrated photonic microresonator [4]. Spontaneous scattering at empty resonator modes creates electron-photon pair states [5], enabling single-particle heralding schemes and noise-suppressed mode imaging. This provides a pathway towards novel hybrid quantum technology with entangled electrons and photons as well as electron-probing with tailored sensitivity for specific material excitations.
