Strong-field-driven electric currents in condensed-matter systems open new frontiers in manipulating electronic and optical properties on petahertz frequency scales. In this regime, new challenges arise as the role of the band structure and the quantum nature of ultrafast electron-hole dynamics have yet to be resolved. While petahertz spectroscopy and control of condensed-matter systems holds great potential, revealing the underlying attosecond (1 attosecond – 10(-18) second) dynamics of electrons in solids is still in its infancy. The proposed research aims at the development of a state-of-the-art attosecond metrology scheme that integrates the concept of holography with attosecond gating.…
