Paraxial Theory of Direct Electro-Optic Sampling of the Quantum Vacuum
Direct detection of vacuum fluctuations and analysis of sub-cycle quantum
properties of the electric field are explored by a paraxial quantum theory of
ultrafast electro-optic sampling. The feasibility of such experiments is
demonstrated by realistic calculations adopting a thin ZnTe electro-optic
crystal and stable few-femtosecond laser pulses. We show that nonlinear mixing
of a short near-infrared probe pulse with multi-terahertz vacuum field modes
leads to an increase of the signal variance with respect to the shot noise
level. The vacuum contribution increases significantly for appropriate length
of the nonlinear crystal, short probe pulse durations, tight focusing, and
sufficiently large number of photons per probe pulse. If the vacuum input is
squeezed, the signal variance depends on the probe delay. Temporal positions
with noise level below the pure vacuum may be traced with a sub-cycle accuracy.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figure

Compensation of the Effect of a Detector Solenoid on the Beam Size in the ILC
In the International Linear Collider (ILC) [1] the colliding beams must be focused to the nanometer size in order to reach the desired luminosity. The method of Weak Antisolenoid is used for the compensation of the effect of the Detector Solenoid on the beam size [2], [3]. The studies of this method require the computer simulation of the charged particle's kinematics in the arbitrarily distributed solenoidal, dipole, quadrupole and higher multipole fields. We suggest the mathematical algorithm that allows to optimize parameters of antisolenoid for different configurations of Final Focus magnets and to compensate parasitic effects of the Detector Solenoid on the beam
Spectra of ultrabroadband squeezed pulses and the finite-time Unruh-Davies effect
We study spectral properties of quantum radiation of ultimately short
duration. In particular, we introduce a continuous multimode squeezing operator
for the description of subcycle pulses of entangled photons generated by a
coherent-field driving in a thin nonlinear crystal with second order
susceptibility. We find the ultrabroadband spectra of the emitted quantum
radiation perturbatively in the strength of the driving field. These spectra
can be related to the spectra expected in an Unruh-Davies experiment with a
finite time of acceleration. In the time domain, we describe the corresponding
behavior of the normally ordered electric field variance.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figure
Subcycle squeezing of light from a time flow perspective
Light as a carrier of information and energy plays a fundamental role in both
general relativity and quantum physics, linking these areas that are still not
fully compliant with each other. Its quantum nature and spatio-temporal
structure are exploited in many intriguing applications ranging from novel
spectroscopy methods of complex many-body phenomena to quantum information
processing and subwavelength lithography. Recent access to subcycle quantum
features of electromagnetic radiation promises a new class of time-dependent
quantum states of light. Paralleled with the developments in attosecond
science, these advances motivate an urgent need for a theoretical framework
that treats arbitrary wave packets of quantum light intrinsically in the time
domain. Here, we formulate a consistent time domain theory of the generation
and sampling of few-cycle and subcycle pulsed squeezed states, allowing for a
relativistic interpretation in terms of induced changes in the local flow of
time. Our theory enables the use of such states as a resource for novel
ultrafast applications in quantum optics and quantum information.Comment: 24 pages, 7 figures (including supplementary information
The Optimized Bunch Compressor for the International Linear Collider
The International Linear Collider (ILC) utilizes a two stage Bunch Compressor (BC) that compresses the RMS bunch length from 9 mm to 200 to 300 micrometers before sending the electron beam to the Main Linac. This paper reports on the new design of the optimized BC wiggler. It was reduced in length by more than 30%. The introduction of nonzero dispersion slope in the BC wigglers enabled them to generate the required compression while having a small SR emittance growth, a tunability range of over a factor of 2 in each wiggler, and less than 3% RMS energy spread throughout the entire system

Design of the ILC RTML extraction lines
The ILC [1] Damping Ring to the Main Linac beamline (RTML) contains three extraction lines (EL). Each EL can be used both for an emergency abort dumping of the beam and tune-up continual train-by-train extraction. Two of the extraction lines are located downstream of the first and second stages of the RTML bunch compressor, and must accept both compressed and uncompressed beam with energy spreads of 2.5% and 0.15%, respectively. In this paper we report on an optics design that allowed minimizing the length of the extraction lines while offsetting the beam dumps from the main line by the distance required for acceptable radiation levels in the service tunnel. The proposed extraction lines can accommodate beams with different energy spreads while at the same time providing the beam size acceptable for the aluminum dump window
