In 2003 Dr. Krausz was offered the position of director at the Max- Planck-Institute of Quantum Optics, where he leads the 

　　      Professor Krausz’ research is focused on ultrashort-pulse lasers, ultrafast spectroscopy, high-field physics, attosecond physics: control and real-time observation of atomic-scale motion of electrons, development of compact laser-driven sources of brilliant X-ray and particle beams for medical applications. 

　　      Professor Krausz has been the recipient of numerous scientific awards and prizes and is a member of many scientific societies and academies such as the Austrian and Hungarian Academy of Sciences and the European Academy of Sciences and Arts in Salzburg (Austria).

　　报告摘要: 

　　  Recent advances in laser science have opened the door to watching and controlling the fastest dynamics in nature (outside the atomic core), the motion of electrons. Key tools include waveform-controlled few-cycle laser light and attosecond pulses of extreme ultraviolet and soft-X-ray light. They provide a force capable of steering electrons inside and between atoms as well as means of tracking their motion. Next-generation femtosecond technology will dramatically advance these tools and push the frontiers of exploring and controlling the microcosm.
