Abstract：
Ultrafast cameras, using ultrashort light flashes, allow the capture of ultrafast motion. In atoms or molecules, attosecond light pulses are needed to capture the motion of electrons (1 as = 10^-18 s). This presentation will highlight the physics behind the generation and application of attosecond light pulses (Nobel Prize in Physics 2023).

About the speaker：
Anne L'Huillier is a Swedish/French researcher in attosecond science. During the first part of her career, she worked at the Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique, in Saclay, France, first as a PhD student until 1986, then as a permanent researcher until 1995. She was postdoc at Chalmers Institute of Technology, Gothenburg. Sweden in 1986, and at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, USA in 1988. In 1995, she moved to Lund University, Sweden and became full professor in 1997. Her research, both theoretical and experimental, is centered around high-order harmonic generation in gases and its applications, in particular in attosecond science. She was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2023 together with Pierre Agostini and Ferenc Krausz for "for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter".
