Nature Article Highlights Advancements in Quantum Coherence with Fieldoscopy

Nature Article Highlights Advancements in Quantum Coherence with Fieldoscopy

A recent article in Nature discusses significant advancements in the field of quantum coherence through the use of fieldoscopy at the quantum limit. The study explores the use of stable tabletop lasers to measure electric fields of very weak laser pulses, entering the regime of weak coherent states where quantum properties dominate over classical. This approach allows for the investigation of coherence at a fundamental level, bridging ultrafast science with quantum optics. The research provides a new platform for exploring quantum coherence and light-matter interactions at sub-cycle timescales, potentially enabling direct measurement of nonclassical states of light.
