Abstract

We propose a synthetic dimension for ultrafast free electrons based on the discrete energy sidebands in photon-induced near-field electron microscopy (PINEM). The PINEM synthetic dimension can offer a powerful way to coherently shape or modulate free-electron wave functions in systems such as ultrafast transmission electron microscopes, dielectric laser accelerators, and quantum free-electron lasers. As examples of this paradigm, we demonstrate Bloch oscillations, diffraction management, and linear optics effects such as Talbot self-imaging in the PINEM lattice. These effects show the potential of PINEM synthetic dimensions as a novel quantum simulation platform.
