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

In the last two decades non-equilibrium spectroscopies have evolved from avant-garde
studies to crucial tools for expanding our understanding of the physics of strongly correlated …

One of the great dream experiments in Science is to directly observe atomic motions as they
occur. Femtosecond electron diffraction provided the first'light'of sufficient intensity to …

Strongly correlated electron systems often exhibit very strong interactions between structural
and electronic degrees of freedom that lead to complex and interesting phase diagrams,. For …

The interaction of ultra-fast sub-picosecond laser pulses with solids is a very broad area of
research. The boundaries for research fields covered by this review are defined as follows. A …

The development of X-ray and electron diffraction methods with ultrahigh time resolution has
made it possible to map directly, at the atomic level, structural changes in solids induced by …

Capturing the evolving geometric and electronic structure in the course of a chemical
reaction or biological process is the principal aim of time-resolved X-ray spectroscopies …

This review encompasses ultrafast laser interaction with matter in a broad range of
intensities~ 10 10–10 15 W/cm 2. We consider the material transformation processes …

Optical pulses are routinely used to drive dynamic changes in the properties of solids. In
quantum materials, many new phenomena have been discovered, including ultrafast …

Accelerator-based light sources such as storage rings and free-electron lasers use
relativistic electron beams to produce intense radiation over a wide spectral range for …
