Atomically strong light pulses in the terahertz window of the electromagnetic spectrum form a unique toolbox to trace and control electronic and ionic quantum motion faster than a cycle of light.

A fascinating quantum world unfolds in solids in the subcycle regime, including phase transitions, Bloch oscillations, quasiparticle collisions, high-harmonic generation, lightwave valleytronics, and lightfield-induced spin switching. By combining this approach with ultramicroscopy we take the first femtosecond snapshot image of a molecular orbital and the first femtosecond single-molecule movie.
