Registration deadline: April 17, 2026 Femtosecond and attosecond laser technologies have been impressively developed in the last decades. The Nobel Prize in Physics in 2023, awarded to the “experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter”, using high-order harmonic generation (HHG) techniques, have further pushed the scientific […]

The recent production and characterization of coherent light pulses with durations as short as a few tens of attoseconds (1 as = 10-18 seconds), either in the lab from high harmonic generation or in large scale X-ray free electron facilities, allows one to image and control electronic motion in matter at its natural time scale.
