We combine two previously separated research fields, adaptive quantum control and nano-optics, to achieve dynamic localization of electromagnetic intensity at sub-wavelength nanoscopic spatial resolution. This is demonstrated experimentally with femtosecond polarization shaping and photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM). The electric near field in the vicinity of Ag nanostructures is controlled by employing femtosecond laser pulses with specifically modulated vectorial properties. Two-photon PEEM probes the lateral intensity distribution, and a learning algorithm optimizes the external field such that photoemission is localized in the desired places. Thus pulse shaping and quantum-control concepts are now also available with nanoscale resolution.
