When an intense laser interacts with a gas of atoms, high-order harmonics are generated. In the time domain, this radiation forms a train of extremely short light pulses, of the order of 100 attoseconds. Attosecond pulses allow the study of the dynamics of electrons in atoms and molecules, using pump-probe techniques. This presentation will highlight some of the key steps of the field of attosecond science.

Chaotic systems are hard to predict - this much has been known for decades. However, studying the fractal geometry that underpins chaotic systems reveals so much more. From a practical point of view it tells us when we can trust predictions and when we can’t.
