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

Light–matter interaction in 2D and topological materials provides a fascinating control knob
for inducing emergent, non-equilibrium properties and achieving new functionalities in the …

We overview the concept of dynamical phase transitions (DPTs) in isolated quantum
systems quenched out of equilibrium. We focus on non-equilibrium transitions characterized …

We review recent work on low-frequency Floquet engineering and its application to quantum
materials driven by light, focusing on van der Waals systems hosting Moiré superlattices …

Ultrafast lasers are an increasingly important tool to control and stabilize emergent phases
in quantum materials. Among a variety of possible excitation protocols, a particularly …

Ultrafast optical pulses are an increasingly important tool for controlling quantum materials
and triggering novel photo-induced phase transitions. Understanding these dynamic …

Resonant optical excitation of certain molecular vibrations in κ-(BEDT-TTF) 2 Cu [N (CN) 2]
Br has been shown to induce transient superconductinglike optical properties at …

We show that effectively cold metastable states in one-dimensional photodoped Mott
insulators described by the extended Hubbard model exhibit spin, charge, and η-spin …
