We employ attosecond angular streaking with photoelectron interferometric metrology to reveal electron sub-Coulomb-barrier dynamics. We use a weak perturbative corotating circularly polarized field (800 nm) to probe the strong-field ionization by an intense circularly polarized field (400 nm). In this double-pointer attoclock photoelectron interferometry, we introduce a spatially rotating temporal Young's two-slit interferometer, in which the oppositely modulated wave packets originating from consecutive laser cycles are dynamically prepared and interfered. Developing a Fourier-transform algorithm on energy-resolved photoelectron interferograms, we can directly extract the amplitude and the phase of emitting electron wave packets from strong-field ionization.

Achieving highly tailored control over both the spatial and temporal evolution of light's orbital angular momentum (OAM) on ultrafast timescales remains a critical challenge in photonics. Here, we introduce a method to modulate the OAM of light on a femtosecond scale by engineering a space-time coupling in ultrashort pulses. By linking azimuthal position with time, we implement an azimuthally varying Fourier transformation to dynamically alter light's spatial distribution in a fixed transverse plane.

A (target) quantum system is often measured through observations performed on a second (meter) system to which the target is coupled. In the presence of global conservation laws holding on the joint meter-target system, the Wigner-Araki-Yanase theorem and its generalizations predict a lower bound on the measurement's error (Ozawa's bound). While practically negligible for macroscopic meters, it becomes relevant for microscopic ones.
