  abstract = {This review article describes in a concise form some of the latest achievements in semiconductor physics related to the topological and quantum properties of electron dynamics, in particular, in strong electric fields; new concepts in electronics based on the quantum degrees of freedom of electrons, which have led to the emergence of new branches distinct from traditional charge-based electronics. The recent emergence of picosecond-to-attosecond time-resolved and scanning spectroscopy has prompted the development of quantum theory describing the detailed high-frequency behavior of electrons on very short temporal and spatial scales, of the order of a few interatomic distances. In fact, such a precise spatiotemporal dynamical picture represents, in a sense, the anatomy of electrons in the periodic potential of a crystal lattice. Specifically, our attention is focused on the following issues that have been actively discussed in leading scientific journals over the past decade: the Berry phase, orbitronics, Zitterbewegung (trembling motion), and effective mass dynamics. Although several specialized reviews already have devoted to the addressed topics, we believe that such review digest including most recent references can help the readers, including authors of SPQEO, to get more information about current trends in the modern semiconductor theory and applications.},
