Few-cycle nonlinear optics with electronic charge and spin excitations

Advanced quantum photonics studies with ultrabroadband femtosecond fiber lasers are presented. First experiments are aiming at few-photon nonlinear optics with single solid-state nanosystems. The new fields of terahertz nonlinear and quantum optics are featured subsequently.
