Ultrafast meets ultrasmall: controlling nanoantennas and molecules

We present a review on the advances of pulse control and ultrafast coherent excitation of both plasmonic nanoantennas and individual molecular systems, primarily based on the achievements in our group. Essential concepts from coherent control of ultrashort broadband laser pulses are combined with na...
