TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the formation of a condensate can be greatly simplified using a microscopic magnetic trap on a chip, and the possibility of manipulating laser-like coherent matter waves with such an integrated atom-optical system holds promise for applications in interferometry, holography, microscopy, atom lithography and quantum information processing.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the attosecond techniques developed with atoms and molecules can also be used with solids, and foresee subfemtosecond, subnanometre probing of collective electron dynamics in solid-state systems ranging in scale from mesoscopic solids to clusters and to single protruding atoms.

TL;DR: This pulsed electron emitter, triggered by a femtosecond oscillator, could serve as an efficient source for time-resolved electron interferometry, for time -resolved nanometric imaging and for synchrotrons.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the dielectric laser acceleration (DLA) scheme operating at typical laser pulse lengths of 1 to 1 ps, where the laser damage fluences correspond to peak surface electric fields in the Ω{GV}/\mathrm{m} regime.

TL;DR: A proof-of-principle experiment demonstrating dielectric laser acceleration of nonrelativistic electrons in the vicinity of a fused-silica grating and the demonstration of the inverse Smith-Purcell effect in the optical regime.
