Nontrivial quantum geometry is a key feature of the wavefunctions of collective magnetic excitations in topological systems, but accessing it experimentally remains an open challenge. While Raman circular dichroism (RCD) has emerged as a…
Driving a two-dimensional Mott insulator with circularly polarized light breaks time-reversal and inversion symmetry, which induces an optically-tunable synthetic scalar spin chirality interaction in the effective low-energy spin…
