Atomic Physics 2016

International Workshop on Atomic Physics
27 November – 2 December 2016

with focus days on
"Attosecond phenomena in condensed matter
and nanostructures"

In the past few years, the attosecond community has increasingly turned its attention to condensed matter systems and nanostructures.  Concepts borrowed from atomic physics have led to crucial insights into attosecond phenomena in condensed matter, such as interband contributions to high harmonic generation.  However, there are crucial differences in how solids interact with ultrafast laser pulses, compared to the traditionally studied gas targets.  These differences present both challenges and new opportunities for theoreticians.  One such example is the interaction of light with nano-structures, where the dipole approximation commonly used in atomic and molecular physics breaks down.  On the experimental front, a number of exciting observations have been made in the last few years, significantly elucidating key aspects of attosecond phenomena in nanostructures and bulk solids.  This year’s focus days will bring together leading theoreticians and experimentalists to help define future directions in the study of attosecond phenomena in condensed matter and at the nanoscale.
