His research focuses on Ultrafast Quantum Coherent Control of interaction of light and matter. How fast? The laser pulses he uses last only a few femtoseconds (1fs = 0.000000000000001 second)! The short laser pulses, packed with high energy, are excellent for studying and controlling the motion of atoms inside molecules because the motion usually happens on a similarly short time scale. On the tour, visitors will have the opportunity to see:
