Intense laser-matter interactions are at the center of interest in research and technology since the development of high power lasers. They have been widely used for fundamental studies in atomic, molecular, and optical physics, and they…

We experimentally observe a new type of quantum-path interference, in two-dimensions (2D-QPI), in high-harmonic generation (HHG) driven by an orthogonally-polarised highly-bichromatic field. This regime is marked by comparable intensities…

Quantum theory permits interference between indistinguishable paths but, at the same time, restricts its order. Single-particle interference, for instance, is limited to the second order, that is, to pairs of single-particle paths. To date,…
