I am a PhD student working in the Attosecond Laboratory within the Atomic Division. In broad terms my research focuses on studying how extremely short pulses of light, generated via High-order Harmonic Generation (HHG), interact with matter.

We aim to develop further the quantum state tomography protocol called KRAKEN (Kvanttillstånds tomogRafi av AttoseKund ElektroNvågpaket) which will be used to study fundamental properties of the attosecond XUV pulses and of photoelectrons generated by the absorption of isolated attosecond pulses. This new technique is of particular interest since it blends the prolific world of optics and attosecond physics with the fascinating field of quantum information.

From a practical point of view we are interested in applying KRAKEN to open the routes toward the investigation of quantum coherence and entanglement properties on the ultrafast timescale.
