Correlations between electrons are at the core of numerous phenomena in atomic, molecular, and solid-state systems. For free particles, detecting inter-particle correlations remains challenging, as ensemble-averaged detection typically conceals few-body effects.

A powerful approach to induce strong electron-electron correlations is spatio-temporally confined photoemission from field emitters employed in ultrafast electron microscopes. When n electrons are generated by the same laser pulse at the emitter, their initially meV-scale inter-particle Coulomb repulsion is acceleration-enhanced in a static electric field to an energy exchange of about 2 eV, as confirmed by trajectory simulations.

In our experiment, we measure distinct energy correlations of pair, triple and quadruple free-electron states in transverse and longitudinal direction [1]. Furthermore, we demonstrate control over the magnitude of Coulomb correlations and discuss how they can facilitate non-Poissonian electron pulse statistics with applications in free-electron quantum optics.
