    Attosecond pulses are generated by electrons that are extracted from a quantum system by tunneling in an intense light pulse and travel through the continuum. Portions of each electron wave packet are forced to re-collide with its parent ion by the oscillating force of the time dependent electric field. Upon re-collision, the electron and ion can re-combine, emitting soft X-ray radiation. This...
