Abstract

Ultrashort light pulses allows investigations of the dynamical response of atoms, molecules, and solids at the natural time and length scales of the electronic motion in matter. Discussing recent experiments and their interpretation within classical and quantum models, this lecture focuses on attosecond time-resolved electron emission and femtosecond time-resolved molecular dissociation dynamics.

Objective

Graduate students will learn about the basic ideas of modern femto and attosecond time-resolved photoelectron-emission and molecular-dissociation experiments and their insightful interpretation within classical and quantum mechanical numerical models.
