Our paper Coherent Manipulation of Single Electrons with Optical Photons in Condensed Helium-4 hits the cover.

 

A single electron forms a nanometric quantum bubble in superfluid helium-4 and can strongly interact with mid-infrared photons, as shown by Dafei Jin and co-workers in article number 2000008. Real-time density functional simulation shows that an ultrafast laser pulse can bring the electron into quantum superpositions between the ground and excited states. The electron wavefunction can deform into a peanut shape or split into two fractions, displaying remarkable nonequilibrium quantum dynamics.
