Attoseconds: Watching the Quantum Engine Run

About this episode

A guided tour into attosecond science—the creation of ultrafast light bursts via high-harmonic generation, how pump–probe setups time electron motion to attosecond precision, and what that means for fundamental physics, chemistry, and the next generation of electronics. From the 43‑attosecond record to Nobel-winning breakthroughs, we explore how observing electrons at their native speeds could someday let us steer chemical reactions and quantum states in atoms, molecules, and solids.
