Entanglement reveals itself to Attosecond physics

Researchers from ICFO and Aarhus University report in Nature Communications a novel technique that uses orbital angular momentum to detect entanglement in the attosecond regime. The Significance of Entanglement in Quantum Physics and Attosecond Physics Entanglement is one of the sweet words we listen to lately when referring to quantum physics. It has provided staggering […]

Probing the properties of matter with high harmonic generation spectroscopy

High Harmonic Generation and Attosecond Spectroscopy Observing how molecules bend, stretch, break, or transform requires sub-atomic spatial and few-femtoseconds temporal resolution. The emergence of High Harmonic Generation (HHG) not only enabled the development of attosecond table-top technology but also opened a new route towards attosecond spectroscopy which carries angstrom-scale spatial resolution, making high harmonic generation spectroscopy […]

Machine learning reveals the atomic structure of large and complex molecules

In a study recently published in Communications Chemistry, researchers from ICFO and partners of OPTOlogic report on a newly-developed machine learning algorithm for LIED to extract the three-dimensional structure of large and complex molecules. Revolutionary Discovery: Visualizing Molecular Transformation Until very recently, the very idea of witnessing how molecules break or transform during chemical reactions […]

Attosecond X-ray Spectroscopy in Quantum Materials

Applied Physics Reviews details the state-of-the-art of Attosecond Technology and showcases how Attosecond soft X-ray spectroscopy allows to understand the dynamics of conventional and quantum materials. Until recently, most soft X-ray spectroscopy science and experiments were only plausible in synchrotron facilities, limiting the amount of science that could be done and augmenting the cost of […]
