Integrated photonics facilitates extensive control over fundamental light–matter interactions in manifold quantum systems including atoms 1 , trapped ions 2 , 3 , quantum dots 4 and defect centres 5 . Ultrafast electron microscopy has recently made free-electron beams the subject of laser-based quan...
