| contents | We perform time-dependent calculations of strong-field ionization of He by elliptically polarized light in configuration of recent attoclock measurements of Boge {\em et al} [PRL {\bf 111}, 103003 (2013)]. By solving a 3D time-dependent Schrödinger equation, we obtain the angular offset $θ_m$ of the maximum in the photoelectron momentum distribution in the polarization plane relative to the position predicted by the strong field approximation. This offset is used in attoclock measurements to extract the tunneling time. Our calculations clearly support the set of experimental angular offset values obtained with the use of non-adiabatic calibration of the {\em in situ} field intensity, and disagree with an alternative set calibrated adiabatically. These findings are in contrast with the conclusions of Boge {\em et al} who found a qualitative agreement of their semiclassical calculations with the adiabatic set of experimental data. This controversy may complicate interpretation of the recent atto-clock measurements. |
