Quantum Breakthrough: Capturing Electrons in Motion at Unimaginable Speeds…
Electrons oscillate around the nucleus of an atom on extremely short timescales, typically completing a cycle in just a few hundred #attoseconds... #quantumscience #physics

🌟 Nobel Laureate Anne L'Huillier is coming to FRIAS 🌟
On 13 March 2025, the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics winner will deliver our 31st Hermann Staudinger Lecture. Anne L'Huillier is one of the leading scientists in the field of attosecond physics, an area of research that explores the ultrafast dynamics of electrons in matter.
In her lecture, she will highlight some of the key steps in the field of attosecond science, starting with the generation of high-order harmonics and continuing with the measurement of attosecond pulses. Some applications of attosecond pulses will be presented.
📅 13 March 2025
⏰ 16:15 – 17:45 (followed by a reception at FRIAS)
📍 Anatomy Lecture Hall, Albertstraße 17, 79104 Freiburg
No registration required – just come by and join us!

Attoseconds are a billionth of a billionth of a second. To give a little perspective, there are around twice as many attoseconds in a single second as there have been seconds in the 13.8-billion year history of the universe.

The number of #attoseconds that fit into one #second ⏱️ is the same as the number of seconds that have passed since the birth of the #universe 🌌 https://www.theguardian.com/science/2023/oct/03/nobel-prize-in-physics-awarded-to-three-scientists-for-work-on-electrons
How fast do #electrons inside a #molecule move? Well, it is so fast that it takes them just few #attoseconds (1 as = 10-18 s or one billionth of billionth of a second) to jump from one #atom to another.
