Vladislav Yakovlev

Vladislav Yakovlev is a Research Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ) and an Adjunct Professor at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU). His work spans photonics, nonlinear optics, quantum mechanics, condensed-matter theory, and computational physics, focusing on lightwave electronics for petahertz-scale signal processing.

• Research Focus: Charge carrier dynamics under few-cycle laser pulses, sub-optical-cycle photoinjection, and attosecond metrology.
• Interdisciplinary Approach: Combines photonics, quantum mechanics, and condensed-matter theory to explore fundamental limits of electronic devices.

The group aims to refine theoretical methods and advance ultrafast science, enabling control of electron motion at petahertz frequencies through tailored optical waveforms.
