Microscopic and Macroscopic Samples of Atoms in Superposition States Studied by Attosecond Pulses
In the present thesis, the interaction between atoms in superposition states and attosecond pulses is studied from the microscopic to the macroscopic regime. Using a semi-classical framework, three different models have been explored in order to investigate attosecond light--matter interaction processes. The first model is a microscopic, single-atom model. Through using this model, the absorptio
