X-ray quantum optics with Mössbauer nuclei — •Lukas Wolff, Dominik Lentrodt, Christoph H. Keitel, and Jörg Evers — Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik, Heidelberg, Germany

Ideas from quantum optics play an important role in studying, controlling, and utilizing light matter interactions in many regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. This raises the question, whether such concepts could also be exploited at hard x-ray energies. Particularly interesting candidates for this are Mössbauer nuclei. These nuclei feature resonances with exceptionally narrow line width, which form the basis for a broad range of applications in the natural sciences.

In recent years, Mössbauer nuclei have become a promising platform for quantum optics with x-rays, and various effects known from the optical domain have already been experimentally demonstrated with nuclei. This poster will review our recent progress in nuclear quantum optics, and will highlight new developments.
