Advances in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics

In order to give an overview over the latest evolutions in atomic, molecular, and optical physics, this volume will promote two important aspects of the field of ultrafast optics and strong fields. In particular, it consists of a review over high harmonic generation (HHG) from thin-film samples, featuring experimental and theoretical studies of HHG from thin films in comparison to bulk crystals of the same materials and the specific interest in HHG from van der Waals materials and HHG studies at the 2D limit. The second review concerns quantum computing technologies enabled studies of molecular processes using present-day devices with application to vibrational spectroscopy, electronic structure calculations, population transfer processes induced by a laser field, and interacting spin systems.
