This Letter brings together two topics that, until now, have been the focus of intense but non-overlapping research efforts. The first concerns high harmonic generation in solids, which occurs when intense light field excites highly…
A major challenge in condensed matter physics is active control of quantum phases. Dynamic control with pulsed electromagnetic fields can overcome energetic barriers enabling access to transient or metastable states that are not thermally…
Light-matter interactions in crystals are powerful tools that seamlessly allow both functionalities of sizeable bandgap modulation and non-invasive spectroscopy. While we often assume that the border between the two regimes of modulation…
