Abstract

Electron dynamics in atoms [1] molecules and condensed matter are typically clocked in tens to thousands of attoseconds. Real-time control of these dynamics requires the exertion of electric or magnetic fields controllable in strength and in direction on that time scale. Such precisely controlled fields can become available via waveform synthesis of continuous (to warrant isolated structures in the time domain) light spectra that span over more than an optical octave.
