To give a classical physics perspective a few tens of attoseconds corresponds roughly to the time an electron spends on the first Bohr orbit in the hydrogen atom to complete its revolution around the nucleus. In the same time interval the electric field of an optical pulse makes a small fraction of its oscillation. The physics at such short time scales represents a great challenge both for theory and experiment and can provide amazing results.

Abstract
To give a classical physics perspective a few tens of attoseconds corresponds roughly to the time an electron spends on the first Bohr orbit in the hydrogen atom to complete its revolution around the nucleus. In the same time interval the electric field of an optical pulse makes a small fraction of its oscillation. The physics at such short time scales represents a great challenge both for theory and experiment and can provide amazing results.File in questo prodotto:
