Modulation of electron wave packets by scattering on time-harmonic potentials
The episode discusses the paper "Modulation of electron wave packets by scattering on time-harmonic potentials" by Brøndum Carlsen and Lars Bojer Madsen. The hosts explore how this theory uses an extended Floquet space to connect time-dependent modulation to time-independent scattering, providing a rigorous framework for studying optical near-fields affecting low-energy electron wave packets relevant for ultrafast electron microscopy.
