Superconductivity and its potential applications are governed by the symmetry of the superconducting order parameter. In the kagome metal CsV3Sb5, most bulk studies indicate conventional s-wave pairing. However, ultrathin flakes exhibit…
Electron pairing is central to modern concepts of superconductivity, and provides a basis for the ubiquitous presence of h/2e in the theory and phenomenology. However, the lack of a consistent real-space picture of phonon-mediated pairing…
Superionic conductors, or solid-state ion-conductors surpassing 0.01 S/cm in conductivity, can enable more energy dense batteries, robust artificial ion pumps, and optimized fuel cells. However, tailoring superionic conductors require…
Quantum coherent superpositions of states with different energies, i.e., states with coherence with respect to energy basis, are important resource for modern quantum technologies. States with small coherence can be obtained either…
Strong field driven electric currents in condensed matter systems open new frontiers in petahertz electronics. In this regime new challenges arise as the role of the band structure and the quantum nature of electron-hole dynamics have yet…
Flat-band systems are of great interest due to their strong electron correlations and unique band geometry. Recent studies have linked the properties of Cooper pairs in flat-band superconductors to the quantum metric. Unlike prior studies…
Based on experimental data on the newly synthesized iron-based superconductors and the relevant band structure calculations, we propose a minimal two-band BCS-type Hamiltonian with the interband Hubbard interaction included. We illustrate…
High harmonic generation is a resource of extremely broad frequency combs of ultrashort light pulses. The non-classical nature of this new quantum source has been recently evidenced in semiconductors by showing that high harmonic generation…
We employ optical pump-THz probe spectroscopy to chart the ultrafast superconductivity suppression in NbN over a broad range of excitation fluences. Our measurements uncover a pronounced lengthening of the superconductivity quenching time…
An indispensable ingredient for pair density wave (PDW) superconductivity is the presence of an attractive pairing interaction at finite momentum. Here, we show how this condition can be met with straightforward electron-density…
We consider terahertz absorption and gain in a single miniband of semiconductor superlattice subject to a bichromatic electric field in the most general case of commensurate frequencies of the probe and pump fields. Using an exact solution…
Coherent optical driving in quantum solids is emerging as a new research frontier, with many demonstrations of exotic non-equilibrium quantum phases. These are based on engineered band structures, and on stimulated nonlinear interactions…
Quantum coherence and control is foundational to the science and engineering of quantum systems. In van der Waals (vdW) materials, the collective coherent behavior of carriers has been probed successfully by transport measurements. However,…
Experimental evidences of spontaneous time-reversal (TR) symmetry breaking have been reported for the superconducting ground state in the transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) superconductor 4H$_b$-TaS$_2$ or chiral molecule intercalated…
The macroscopic coherence in superconductors supports dissipationless supercurrents which could play a central role in emerging quantum technologies. Accomplishing unequal supercurrents in the forward and backward directions would enable…
We investigate a semiconductor $p$-$n$ junction in contact with superconducting leads that is operated under forward bias as a light-emitting diode. The presence of superconductivity results in a significant increase of the…
At an interface between a topological insulator (TI) and a conventional superconductor (SC), superconductivity has been predicted to change dramatically and exhibit novel correlations. In particular, the induced superconductivity by an…
For decades, most research on high harmonic generation (HHG) considered matter as quantum but light as classical, leaving the quantum-optical nature of the harmonics an open question. Here we explore the quantum properties of high…
In this work we study the competition or coexistence between charge density wave (CDW) and superconductivity (SC) in a two-band model system in a square lattice. One of the bands has a net attractive interaction ($J_d$) that is responsible…
We investigate the dynamical behavior of a topological superconducting system, demonstrating that its static configuration undergoes a transition driven by an intrinsic supercurrent. By analyzing the band population, we confirm the…
