The Wigner delay is defined as the energy derivative of the scattering phase of a particle in a given potential, unveiling the time taken (or gained) due to the interaction. The characterisation of this delay plays a central role in…
Streaked photoemission metrology allows the observation of an apparent relative time delay between the detection of photoelectrons from different initial electronic states. This relative delay is obtained by recording the photoelectron…

The Wigner time delay is a measure of the time spent by a particle inside the scattering region of an open system. For chaotic systems, the statistics of the individual delay times (whose average is the Wigner time delay) are thought to be…

We consider a fully quantized model of spontaneous emission, scattering, and absorption, and study propagation of a single photon from an emitting atom to a detector atom both with and without an intervening scatterer. We find an exact…
Shape resonances in photoionization of atoms and molecules arise from a particular geometry of the ionic potential which traps the receding photoelectron in a quasi-bound state in a particular partial wave. This mechanism allows us to…
Elastic scattering of a wave can be quantified by a shift in the phase with respect to the incoming wave phase. A qualitative measure of the time during which the effect occurs is given by the Wigner time delay. The tunneling time in turn…

The photoelectric effect, explained by Einstein in 1905, is often regarded as a one-electron phenomenon. However, in multi-electron systems, the interaction of the escaping electron with other electrons, referred to as electron correlation,…
Photoionization as a half-scattering process is not instantaneous. Usually, time delays in photoionization are of the order of few tens of attoseconds (1 as = 10$^{-18}$ s). While going from a single atom to a nano-object, one can expect…
