Amplitude and phase modulation of the electron wave function. a Two-dimensional Fourier transform of the energy-time map plotted in Fig. 4a. b Complex spectral distribution of the electron wave function amplitude (bottom) and phase (top), extracted at the modulation frequency of 2π/(2.6 fs) ≈ 385 THz. c, d Two-dimensional Fourier transform extracted from the calculated energy-time map plotted in Fig. 4d. e Schematic representation of electron wave function modulation, showing snapshots of the strong energy-momentum electron density redistribution for different values of the phase shift between the two optical pulses
