Attosecond pulses, produced through high-order harmonic generation in gases, have been successfully used for observing ultrafast, sub-femtosecond electron dynamics in atoms, molecules and solid state systems. Today's typical attosecond…

We provide a brief review of how phase space techniques are explored within strong-field and attosecond science. This includes a broad overview of the existing landscape, with focus on strong-field ionisation and rescattering, high-order…

Asymmetric molecules look different when viewed from one side or the other. This difference influences the electronic structure of the valence electrons, thereby giving stereo sensitivity to chemistry and biology. We show that attosecond…

High harmonic spectra generated in condensed matter carry the fingerprints of sub-cycle electronic motion and the energy structure of the studied system. Here we show that tailoring the waveform of mid-infrared driving light by using a…

Tracing ultrafast processes induced by interaction of light with matter is often very challenging. In molecular systems, the initially created electronic coherence becomes damped by the slow nuclear rearrangement on a femtosecond timescale…
