Metal insulator transitions driven by local Coulomb interactions are among the most fascinating phenomena in condensed matter physics. They occur in a large variety of transition metal compounds. Most of these strongly correlated materials…
We study the low temperature physics of an ultracold atomic gas in the potential formed inside a pumped optical resonator. Here, the height of the cavity potential, and hence the quantum state of the gas, depends not only on the pump…
We study the superfluid-Mott-insulator transition of ultracold bosonic atoms in a one-dimensional optical lattice with a double-well confining trap using the density-matrix renormalization group. At low density, the system behaves similarly…
We numerically study the superfluid to Mott insulator transition for bosonic atoms in a one dimensional lattice by exploiting a recently developed simulation method for strongly correlated systems. We demonstrate this methods accuracy and…
For continuous Mott metal-insulator transitions in layered two dimensional systems, we demonstrate the phenomenon of dimensional decoupling: the system behaves as a three-dimensional metal in the Fermi liquid side but as a stack of…
An ultracold gas of interacting fermionic atoms in a three-dimensional optical lattice is considered, where the lattice potential strength is periodically modulated. This non-equilibrium system is non-perturbatively described by means of a…
We study Mott insulator - superfluid transition in a two-band boson Hubbard model, which can be mapped onto a spin-1/2 XY model with spins coupled to an additional Ising degree of freedom. By using a modified mean field theory that include…
Dynamical mean-field theory is generalized to solve the nonequilibrium Keldysh boundary problem: a system is started in equilibrium at a temperature T=0.1, a uniform electric field is turned on at t=0, and the system is monitored as it…
At the Mott transition, electron-electron interaction changes a metal, in which electrons are itinerant, to an insulator, in which electrons are localized. This phenomenon is central to quantum materials. Here we contribute to its…
The paradigmatic Mott insulator arises in strongly correlated systems, where strong local repulsion localizes interacting particles in underlying egg-holder-like potential. The corresponding Mott transition reflects delocalization of the…
Mott insulators exhibit complex photoexcitation dynamics under intense optical driving, with potential implications for carrier multiplication beyond the Shockley-Queisser limit. Probing these nonequilibrium processes requires access to the…
The electrical control of a material's conductivity is at the heart of modern electronics. Conventionally, this control is achieved by tuning the density of mobile charge carriers. A completely different approach is possible in Mott…
We review recent investigations of the femtosecond non-linear optical response of the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in a strong magnetic field. We probe the Quantum Hall (QH) regime for filling factors $\nu \sim 1$. Our focus is on…
The resistivity maximum at a temperature $T=T_{\mathrm{max}}$ is a recurring feature of bandwidth-tuned Mott systems, yet its meaning remains controversial: is it a coherence-incoherence crossover of an electronically homogeneous metal, or…
At low energies the charge sector of one dimensional Mott insulators can be described in terms of a quantum Sine-Gordon model. Using exact results derived from integrability it is possible to determine dynamical properties like the…
We investigate harmonically-trapped, laser-pumped bosons with infinite-range interactions induced by a dissipative high-finesse red-detuned optical cavity with numerical and analytical methods. We obtain multiple cavity and atomic…
Recent theoretical studies showed that the electronic structure of 1$T$-TaS$_2$ in the low-temperature commensurate charge density wave phase exhibits a nontrivial interplay between band-insulating and Mott insulating behavior. This has…
We theoretically investigate a relation between the crystalline symmetry and the transient modulation of optical properties of crystalline dielectrics in pump-probe measurements using intense pump and attosecond probe fields. When the…
It is demonstrated that the non-instantaneous response of the optically induced coherent polarization tremendously influences the real-space shift of electronic charges in semiconductors. The possibility to coherently control this…
The experimental investigation of quantum phases in optical lattice systems provides major challenges. Recently, dynamical generation of double occupancy via modulation of the hopping amplitude t has been used to characterize the strongly…
