Photo-induced phase-transitions (PIPTs) driven by highly cooperative interactions are of
fundamental interest as they offer a way to tune and control material properties on ultrafast …

Modern time-resolved spectroscopy experiments on quantum materials raise the question,
how strong electron-electron interactions, in combination with periodic driving, form …

We theoretically study the quenching of a charge-density wave phase in a model system of a
quasi-two-dimensional material, which includes both electron-hole and electron-phonon …

An exceptional and widely known quantum state of matter is superconductivity. It is realized
by the spontaneous breaking of a (gauge) symmetry, in which (in the simplest theory) the …
