In June 2022, Paul Corkum, Ferenc Krausz, and Anne L’Huillier received the Wolf Prize in physics (the 2nd most prestigious award in physics and chemistry after the Nobel Prize) for their seminal work on Attosecond Physics. In 2023, the Physics Nobel prize for experimental methods to generate attosecond pulses was awarded to Anne L’Huillier, Ferenc Krauss, and Pierre Agostini. This course, taught by some of the pioneers of this field, will combine theoretical foundations with experimental outlook and cover key topics in Attosecond Physics and its foundation, the interaction of intense laser fields with matter.
