Abstract: Attosecond pulses are the shortest light pulses produced and the subject of the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics. In this talk I will discuss attosecond spectroscopy – a diverse set of techniques to study the movement of electrons in atoms, molecules, and condensed matter using attosecond light. As an example, I will present recent results on attosecond charge migration, a coherent process where an electron hole moves across a molecule in a particle-like manner on a sub-femtosecond time scale.
