Attosecond physics is the field of physics that is concerned with phenomena that take place in the attosecond time-scale, namely 10^-18-10^-15 s.

In practice, this means making laser impulses that are shorter than 10^-15 s and using them to interrogate the motion of electrons inside atoms and molecules, for which the time-scale of that order of magnitude (the atomic unit of time is 24 as).
