Abstract
We present a brief review of recent experimental and theoretical time-resolved studies of the evolution of atomic wavepackets, in particular, wavepackets comprising a superposition of very-high-lying Rydberg states that are created either using a short half-cycle pulse (HCP) or by rapid application of a DC field. The properties of the wavepackets are probed using a second HCP that is applied following a variable time delay and which ionizes a fraction of the atoms, much like a passing-by ion in atomic collisions.
