Abstract
Optical microscopy at ultimate spatio-temporal scales is the key to connecting nanoscopic elementary dynamics with macroscopic functionalities of condensed matter. We discover a qualitatively new nonlinear contrast mechanism in near-field light-matter interaction, which we exploit to promote all-optical microscopy to combined subcycle and atomic-scale resolution. This way we trace the atomically confined quantum flow of electrons faster than a cycle of light.
