Strong-Field Ionization of Hydrogen Atoms with Quantum Light.

We study the strong-field ionization driven by quantum lights. Developing a quantum-optical-corrected strong-field approximation model, we simulate the photoelectron momentum distribution with squeezed-state light, which manifests as notably different interference structures from that with coherent-state (classical) light. With the saddle-point method, we analyze the electron dynamics and reveal that the photon statistics of squeezed-state light fields endows the tunneling electron wave packets with a time-varying phase uncertainty and modulates the photoelectron intracycle and intercycle interferences. Moreover, it is found the fluctuation of quantum light imprints significant influence on the propagation of tunneling electron wave packets, in which the ionization probability of electrons is considerably modified in time domain.
