A strong helicity dependence of reconstruction of attosecond bursts by beating of two-photon transitions (RABBITT) with circularly polarized XUV and IR pulses was reported by Han et al. [Nature Physics 19, 230 and arXiv 2302.04137 (2023)].…

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…

Chiral light-matter interactions have been investigated for two centuries, leading to the discovery of many chiroptical processes used for discrimination of enantiomers. Whereas most chiroptical effects result from a response of bound…

This tutorial presents an introduction to the interaction of light and matter on the attosecond timescale. Our aim is to detail the theoretical description of ultra-short time-delays, and to relate these to the phase of extreme ultraviolet…

We predict a significant delay of two-electron photoemission from the helium atom after absorption of an attosecond XUV pulse. We establish this delay by solving the time dependent Schr\"odinger equation and by subsequent tracing the…
