Optical responses in an excitonic insulating (EI) system with strong electron correlation are studied. We adopt the two-orbital Hubbard model with a finite energy difference between the two orbitals where the spin state degree of freedom…
Strong optical nonlinearities play a central role in realizing quantum photonic technologies. In solid state systems, exciton-polaritons, which result from the hybridization of material excitations and cavity photons, are an attractive…
We study the electronic excitations near the charge-transfer gap in insulating CuO$_2$ planes, starting from a six-band model which includes $% p_\pi $ and $d_{xy}$ orbitals and Cu-O nearest-neighbor repulsion $U_{pd}$. While the low lying…
Strong correlation effects, which are often associated to the approach to a Mott insulating state, in some cases may be observed even far from half-filling. This typically happens whenever the inter-site Coulomb repulsion induces a tendency…
We study the nonequilibrium dynamics of photoexcited electrons in the narrow-gap Mott insulator VO$_2$. The initial stages of relaxation are treated using a quantum Boltzmann equation methodology, which reveals a rapid ($\sim$ femtosecond…
When the interaction between a molecular system and confined light modes in an optical or plasmonic cavity is strong enough to overcome the dissipative process, hybrid light-matter states (polaritons) emerge as the fundamental excitations…
We study the dynamics of charge-transfer insulators after photo-excitation using the three-band Emery model and a nonequilibrium extension of Hartree-Fock+EDMFT and GW+EDMFT. While the equilibrium properties are accurately reproduced by the…
Charge excitations in Mott insulators (MIs) are distinct from their band-insulator counterparts and they can provide a mechanism for energy harvesting in solar cells based on strongly correlated electronic materials. In this paper, we study…
A theory of optical excitations by using a tight binding model with long-range Coulomb interactions is developed. The model is applied to a C60 molecule and a cluster, and is treated by the Hartree-Fock approximation followed by a…
We theoretically analyse the process of charge recombination in the planar Mott-Hubbard insulators with the aim to explain short picosecond-range lifetime of photoexcited carriers, experimentally studied via pump-probe experiments on the…
In strongly correlated electron systems, the emergence of states in the Mott gap in the single-particle spectrum following the doping of the Mott insulator is a remarkable feature that cannot be explained in a conventional rigid-band…
An excitonic insulator phase is expected to arise from the spontaneous formation of electron-hole pairs (excitons) in semiconductors where the exciton binding energy exceeds the size of the electronic band gap. At low temperature, these…
Quantum emitters (QEs) coupled to structured baths can localize multiple photons around them and form qubit-photon bound states. In the Markovian or weak coupling regime, the interaction of QEs through these single-photon bound states is…
In this work, we theoretically investigate the optical orientation and alignment of excitons in quantum dots with weak electron-hole exchange interaction and long exciton radiative lifetimes. This particular regime is realized in…
Excitons, Coulomb-bound electron-hole pairs, play a fundamental role in both optical excitation and correlated phenomena in solids. When an exciton interacts with other quasi-particles, few- and many-body excited states, such as trions,…
We study the half filled extended Hubbard model on a two-dimensional square lattice using cluster dynamical mean field theory on clusters of size 8-20. We show that the model exhibits metallic, Mott insulating, and charge ordered phases,…
Optical dynamics in van der Waals heterobilayers is of fundamental scientific and practical interest. Based on a time-dependent adiabatic GW approach, we discover a new many-electron (excitonic) channel for converting photoexcited…
The interplay of the excitoniclike polariton, polariton, and photoniclike polariton coherent states in mass-imbalanced electron-hole systems within optical microcavities is theoretically examined. Utilizing the unrestricted Hartree-Fock…
Measuring how the magnetic correlations throughout the Brillouin zone evolve in a Mott insulator as charges are introduced dramatically improved our understanding of the pseudogap, non-Fermi liquids and high $T_C$ superconductivity.…
The nonlinear optical response of an excitonic insulator coupled to lattice degrees of freedom is shown to depend in strong and characteristic ways on whether the insulating behavior originates primarily from electron-electron or…
