title: Attosecond quantum stroboscope.
abstract: 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.
