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.
