Electron disco: A “quantum stroboscope” for capturing the electron motion on a subfemtosecond timescale for a particular class of problems is highlighted. The picture shows a diffraction pattern caused by wave packets obtained by synchronizing attosecond UV pulses to a near‐IR field and ionizing rare‐gas atoms.
