Nominator's project description

The enormous progress in experimental quantum optics has created ever shorter laser pulses reaching now the attosecond domain, the time light needs to cross the nucleus. Professor Ivanov is a pioneer in the field of attosecond sciences. The optical centrifuge for molecules, optimal control of nonlinear optics and ultra high-harmonics generation from atoms in intense laser fields are only a few highlights of his vast and impressive reservoir of discoveries. During his visit at the Universitaet Ulm he plans to investigate sub-femtosecond, sub-Angstrom imaging of molecular and electronic dynamics.
