Johan Mauritsson

Johan Mauritsson is a Professor at the Department of Atomic Physics, Lund Institute of Technology (LTH), Lund University. He is a member of the Photon Science and Technology and Light and Materials profile areas. His research bridges experimental and theoretical work in attosecond physics and strong field laser-matter interaction.

Research interests focus on:

• Generation and application of attosecond pulses
• Control of strong field processes using multi-color laser fields
• XUV spectroscopy and free induction decay phenomena
• Quantum dynamics in high-order harmonic generation and photoionization

Scientific contributions include:

• Sten von Friesen’s award (2009)
• Young Scientist Prize for Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics (2009)

Current projects involve:

• QU-ATTO: Quantum information science and ultrafast coherent control at attosecond timescales (2024-2028)
• fMRI-fLICKER: Investigating flicker effects on the brain (2022-2024)
• The Physics of Opera: Interdisciplinary collaboration with researchers like Hjalmar Jalhed (2025)
