Expérimental Description
High-harmonic generation is a light up-conversion process occurring in a strong laser field, leading to coherent attosecond bursts of extreme broadband radiation. As a new paradigm, attosecond electronic or photonic processes such as high-harmonic generation (HHG) can potentially generate quantum states of light well before the decoherence of the system occurs. We recently reported the violation of the Cauchy-Schwarz inequalityas as a direct test of multipartite entanglement in the HHG process. The internship will consist in realizing a platform that will allow controlling the HHG quantum state on attosecond time scale, This opens the vision of quantum processing on unprecedented timescales, an evident perspective for future quantum optical computers. For M2 students: only candidates motivated to follow with a PhD in this topic will be considered. L3 and M1 students are welcome.
