Extremely strong lightwaves excite semiconductor quasiparticles much faster than scattering occurs, which paves the way for detailed control and transport of electronic quantum coherences, resembling capabilities in atomic attosecond science. I will present the latest advancements in such lightwave electronics, enabling ultrafast access and control of electronic quantum information in solids, possibly at petahertz rates. Our approach combines experiments with first-principles quantum dynamic cluster-expansion theory [1] that simultaneously handles both extreme lightwave and many-body excitations to provide systematic route to discoveries. Examples include demonstration of flipping valleytronic qubit in a WSe2 monolayer in less than 5fs [2], introducing crystal-momentum combs for enabling super-resolution imaging of electronic bands of quantum materials [3], and timing many-body effects in harmonic sideband generation down to attosecond resolution.
Work in collaboration with M. Borsch, C. P. Schmid, C. Lange, and R. Huber.
