Attosecond photoelectron interferometry: from wavepackets to density matrices
Through the advent of high-order harmonic generation and attosecond light pulses, photoionization dynamics has been studied on the attosecond time-scale, the intrinsic time-scale of such dynamics. When the electron leaves the atomic potential a phase shift is imprinted on the electron wavefunction. The measurement of this phase, together with amplitude allows us to determine the dynamics that of t
