Control of Ultrafast (Attosecond and Strong Field) Processes Using Structured Light

Moved from 2020 to 2023 due to Covid-19:
 

International Seminar & Focus Workshop
26 June - 14 July 2023
(focus workshop: 3 - 5 July 2023)

Attosecond and strong field physics are evolving in new directions, unified by the concept of lightwave electronics: from the generation of structured pulses with tailored angular momentum properties, the control of the enantiosensitive electronic response in chiral molecules, the study of non-linear properties of solid-state materials, to the generation and application of electron matter-wave vortices.

Topics include

  • ultrafast quantum dynamics with vector beams
  • ultrafast lightwave electronics, valleytronics and spintronics
  • chirality and topology in non-linear and ultrafast light-matter interaction
  • generation, control, and application of electron matter-wave vortices
  • high harmonic generation in solid-state materials and structured targets
  • generation of attosecond pulses with tailored angular momentum properties
  • attosecond spectroscopy of electron dynamics in solids
  • ultrafast electronic and vibronic response of chiral molecules
  • ultrafast magnetism driven by structured light beams
  • generation of coherent structured x-rays
