A complicated figure showing 10 different beams varying from azimuthal to radial polarization. There are also atomic spectra showing that the depth of certain features strongly correlates with the degree of radiality.

A poster advertising a talk taking place at 4pm June 11th at Durham physics department. The speaker is Nobel laureate Prof. Anne L'Huillier. The topic is "The Rochester lecture 2025: The route to attosecond light pulses".

We are looking forward to host this Rochester lecture tomorrow. The speaker is Prof. Anne L'Huillier talking about the route to attosecond pulses.

As head of @durhamqlm.bsky.social it was my pleasure to introduce the 2025 Rochester lecture. Delivered by Prof. Anne L'Huillier. A brilliant and inspirational talk. Great to see so many undergraduate students present!

It was a pleasure to organise the 2025 Rochester lecture, given by Nobel Laureate Prof. Anne L'Huillier. Seen here with members of the @durhamqlm.bsky.social research group, current and former heads of department.

The variation of the field in the 2-state model. The rapid turn-on of a strong, resonant, continuous wave laser field may trigger the formation of a transient oscillation akin to a train of damped solitons.
