| contents | The origin of electron-boson interactions is central to understanding high-$T_c$ superconductivity in cuprates. While phonons and magnetic fluctuations are widely considered as candidates for mediating electron pairing, the role of charge fluctuations -- one of the fundamental electronic degrees of freedom -- remains unclear. Here, we investigate the electronic structure of the electron-doped cuprate Nd$_{2-x}$Ce$_x$CuO$_4$ using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and angle-resolved inverse photoemission spectroscopy, which reveal the occupied and unoccupied states, respectively. We identify emergent spectral features on both occupied and unoccupied states that are consistent with excitations driven by quantum charge fluctuations. The results obtained in this study offer direct experimental insight into charge fluctuations in cuprates, thereby paving the way towards clarifying their fine electronic structure and the mechanism of high-$T_c$ superconductivity. |
