MLL-Kolloquium: Prof. Eleftherios Goulielmakis (MPI f. Quantum Optics, Garching): Taming Light Fields: Attosecond control of Light and Matter

Thursday 30 Jun 2011, 16:00 → 17:00 Europe/Berlin

LMU Building, Am Coulombwall 1, Garching, Lecture Hall (ground floor)

Ultimate control of electronic processes in atoms, molecules and condensed matter requires the exertion of forces that are capable to steer the quantum motion of electrons with attosecond precision. Such forces can be exerted by light fields whose waveform is sculpted with sub-optical-cycle accuracy. I will discuss how the recently established technology of sub-optical-cycle light field synthesis open the way to such control as well as first applications.
