Attosecond light pulses for studying electron dynamics

Attosecond light pulses for studying electron dynamics

When an intense laser light interacts with a gas of atoms, high-order harmonics are generated. In the time domain, this radiation forms a train of extremely short light pulses, of length of the order of 100 attoseconds. These attosecond pulses enable the study of...

Ferroelectric nematic liquids

Nematic liquid crystals have been known for decades and are widely utilized in modern display technologies, constituting a multibillion-dollar business. Their applicability lies in a unique combination of fluidity, anisotropic physical properties, and processability....
Quantum entanglement, foundations and experiments

Quantum entanglement, foundations and experiments

In this lecture, the Nobel laureate Prof. Anton Zeilinger will explain the phenomenon of quantum entanglement and the experimental methods used to probe it. He will present the pioneering experiments with entangled photons that demonstrated the violation of Bell...
