Explore the groundbreaking field of attosecond science in this lecture delivered by 2023 Nobel Prize Winner Anne L'Hullier at Imperial College London. Delve into the revolutionary techniques and discoveries that have enabled scientists to observe and measure processes occurring on the attosecond timescale, where an attosecond is one quintillionth of a second. Learn about the fundamental principles behind attosecond pulse generation, the experimental methods used to create and characterize these ultrashort light pulses, and their applications in studying electron dynamics in atoms, molecules, and solids. Discover how attosecond science has opened new frontiers in understanding ultrafast phenomena in matter, providing unprecedented insights into the motion of electrons and enabling real-time observation of quantum mechanical processes. Gain insights from one of the pioneering researchers in this field who has made seminal contributions to the development of high harmonic generation and attosecond pulse technology, work that was recognized with the Nobel Prize in Physics.
