Ultrafast optical demagnetization is a phenomena whose origins have yet to be completely understood. One challenge in studying this phenomena is the low availability of femtosecond light sources in the XUV and X-ray regimes. By exploiting the process of High Harmonic Generation (HHG) in argon, we have developed a high-flux, table-top femtosecond XUV source. We use it for probing ultrafast...

Driven-dissipative quantum optical systems may display dynamics that is difficult to accurately capture using a master equation approach, particularly in the limit of large excitation numbers. To keep pace with rapid experimental progress and increasing complexity in quantum optical systems, an effective computational approach is needed that is not limited by Hilbert space truncation. We...

Materials containing azobenzene chromophores have been utilised for all-optical surface patterning because of their photoresponsive properties. When azobenzene derivatives are irradiated with a polarized light beam with wavelengths within their absorption band, they undergo a reversible cis-trans isomerization process leading to a molecular reorientation, and further illumination results in...

[i] Coudert et al. [JCP 143 (2015) 044304] published an analysis of splittings observed in the low-J range. They calculated 32 spin-rotation, 32 spin-spin, and 16 spin-torsion hyperfine constants using the ACES2 package. Three of these constants (c$_{zz}^{0}$, c$_{zz}^{0,h}$ and s$_{z}^{0,h}$)...
