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…

Although many physical arguments account for using a modified definition of time delay in multichannel-type scattering processes, one can hardly find rigorous results on that issue in the literature. We try to fill in this gap by showing,…
Attosecond streaking is one of the most fundamental processes in attosecond science allowing for a mapping of temporal (i.e. phase) information on the energy domain. We show that on the single-particle level attosecond streaking time shifts…
