Attosecond science is a new and rapidly developing research area in
which molecular dynamics are studied at the timescale of a few
attoseconds. Within the past decade, attosecond pump–probe
spectroscopy has emerged as a powerful experimental technique that
permits electron dynamics to be followed on their natural timescales.
With the development of this technology, physical chemists have been
able to observe and control molecular dynamics on attosecond
timescales. From these observations it has been suggested that
attosecond to few-femtosecond timescale charge migration may induce
what has been called “post-Born-Oppenheimer dynamics”, where the
nuclei respond to rapidly time-dependent force fields resulting from
transient localization of the electrons. These real-time observations
have spurred exciting new advances in the theoretical work to both
explain and predict these novel dynamics. This book presents an
overview of current theoretical work relevant to attosecond science
written by theoreticians who are presently at the forefront of its
development. It is a valuable reference work for anyone working in the
field of attosecond science as well as those studying the subject.
