Recent progress in utilizing ultrafast light-matter interaction to control the macroscopic
properties of quantum materials is reviewed. Particular emphasis is placed on photoinduced …

The crystal structure of a solid largely dictates its electronic, optical and mechanical
properties. Indeed, much of the exploration of quantum materials in recent years including …

The non-equilibrium control of emergent phenomena in solids is an important research
frontier, encompassing effects such as the optical enhancement of superconductivity …

Strong optical pulses at mid-infrared and terahertz frequencies have recently emerged as
powerful tools to manipulate and control the solid state and especially complex condensed …

The properties of organic conductors are often tuned by the application of chemical or
external pressure, which change orbital overlaps and electronic bandwidths while leaving …

We employ a quantum Liouville equation with relaxation to model the recently observed
anomalous Hall effect in graphene irradiated by an ultrafast pulse of circularly polarized …

Recent advances in laser technology have made it possible to generate of precisely shaped
strong-field pulses at terahertz frequencies. These pulses are especially useful to selectively …

Advances in light sources and time-resolved spectroscopy have made it possible to excite
specific atomic vibrations in solids and to observe the resulting changes in electronic …

We perform a systematic analysis of the influence of phonon driving on the superconducting
Holstein model coupled to heat baths by studying both the transient dynamics and the …

We show that an energy gap is induced in graphene by light-matter coupling to a circularly
polarized photon mode in a cavity. Using many-body perturbation theory, we compute the …
