Abstract

Using a dispersion-engineered structure supporting hybrid photonic-plasmonic surface polaritons, we present the first observation of 2D Cherenkov radiation from free electrons, with record-strong electron-polariton quantum coupling that reaches the single-electron-single-photon interaction regime.
