Strong-field quantum control in the extreme ultraviolet domain using pulse shaping

The extending spectro-temporal pulse shaping to the short-wavelength regime promises the quantum control of matter on unprecedented short time scales and with chemical sensitivity. In this study, a key step towards this development has been successfully demonstrated. F.

The quantum control of strong-field processes
at short wavelengths has not been possible,
so far, because of the lack of pulse-shaping
technologies in the extreme ultraviolet (XUV)
and X-ray domain. Here, exploiting pulse shaping
of the seeded free-electron laser (FEL) FERMI,
we demonstrate the strong-field quantum control
of ultrafast Rabi dynamics in helium atoms
with high fidelity.
