Attosecond Physics (MVSpec)

This lecture will provide an introduction to the fundamentals and current work in the research area of Attosecond Physics.  The pioneers of this field were awarded the Physics Nobel Prize in 2023 for providing the ultrashort flashes of light (attosecond pulses), and current opportunities to employ their techniques for the understanding and steering of electron motion in matter are quickly expanding.

The lecture will be accompanied by a tutorial (right after the lecture) for praticing our understanding of key concepts and physics pictures, also including (computational) experiments.
