When intense lightwaves accelerate electrons through a solid, the emerging high-order
harmonic (HH) radiation offers key insights into the material,,,,,,,,,–. Sub-optical-cycle …

Electrons in a lattice exhibit time-periodic motion, known as Bloch oscillation, when subject
to an additional static electric field. Here, we show that a corresponding dynamics can occur …

Both metaphysical and practical considerations related to time inversion have intrigued
scientists for generations. Physicists have strived to devise and implement time-inversion …

Although Zitterbewegung—the jittery motion of relativistic particles—was known since 1930
and was predicted in solid-state systems long ago, it has been directly measured so far only …

We propose the suppression of dispersive spreading of wave packets governed by the free-
space Schrödinger equation with a periodically pulsed nonlinear term. Using asymptotic …

Methods that are devised to achieve reversal of quantum dynamics in time have been
named “quatum time mirrors.” Such a time mirror can be considered as a generalization of …

We propose a method—a quantum time mirror (QTM)—for simulating a partial time-reversal
of the free-space motion of a non-relativistic quantum wave packet. The method is based on …

In this thesis, we address the long-standing question of time-reversal protocols for the
quantum mechanical wave function for continuous degrees of freedom. We propose two …

Spintronics (spin-based electronics) is more and more included into conventional
information technology because it can significantly reduce the size of device structures and …

Topological insulators in two dimensions have received much attention recently because
they are theoretically expected to show properties that make them very attractive for …
