The 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to Anne L’Huillier, Pierre Agostini and Ferenc Krausz “for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter”. In this article, we contextualize their seminal works and their central roles that led to the emergence of a global ultrafast community exploring the frontiers of electron dynamics in dilute and condensed matter.
Note to the reader: Equation page 22 Δτ∙ΔE ≥ ℏ has been corrected on 12 December 2023.
