Coupled electron-photon pairs (IMAGE)
Caption
An illustration of the generation of coupled electron-photon pairs. A beam of free electrons (yellow) passes through a ring-shaped resonator (black), producing single photons. This creates a coupled electron-photon pair with closely linked properties in energy content and temporal occurrence.
