We present a novel approach to model ultrafast time-dependent nonlinear optical polarization sensitive signals emitted from randomly-oriented molecules. By projecting the laboratory-frame analyzer polarization axis into the molecular frame…
In most cases the ultrafast dynamics of resonantly excited molecules are considered, and almost always computed in the molecular frame, while experiments are carried out in the laboratory frame. Here we provide a formalism in terms of a lab…
Inducing and controlling the ultrafast molecular rotational dynamics using shaped laser fields is essential in numerous applications. Several approaches exist that allow following the coherent molecular motion in real-time, including…
Transient absorption is a very powerful observable in attosecond experiments on atoms, molecules and solids and is frequently used in experiments employing phase-locked few-cycle infrared and XUV laser pulses derived from high harmonic…
The requirement of high space-time resolution and brightness is a great challenge for imaging atomic motion and making molecular movies. Important breakthroughs in ultrabright tabletop laser, x-ray and electron sources have enabled the…

Time-resolved investigations of ultrafast electronic and molecular dynamics were not possible until recently. The typical time scale of these processes is in the picosecond to attosecond realm. The tremendous technological progress in…
Ultrafast electronic dynamics are typically studied using pulsed lasers. We demonstrate a complementary experimental approach: quantum simulation of ultrafast dynamics using trapped ultracold atoms. Counter-intuitively, this technique…

We introduce a new scheme for controlling the sense of molecular rotation. By varying the polarization and the delay between two ultrashort laser pulses, we induce unidirectional molecular rotation, thereby forcing the molecules to rotate…
