Attosecond Physics - Ferenc Krausz

Explore the cutting-edge field of attosecond physics in this comprehensive lecture by Ferenc Krausz from the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics. Delve into the world of ultrafast laser-matter interactions and discover how attosecond pulses are revolutionizing our understanding of electron dynamics in atoms, molecules, plasmas, and solids. Learn about recent breakthroughs in laser science that allow for the observation and control of electronic motion on atomic length scales. Examine the techniques used to generate and measure attosecond extreme ultraviolet pulses, and understand their applications in visualizing the electric field of visible light and observing electron motion in real-time. Gain insights into the potential development of attosecond X-ray sources and their implications for 4D electron imaging with sub-atomic resolution. This talk, recorded at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, provides an in-depth look at the current status and future prospects of attosecond science.
