The field of topological photonics studies unique and robust photonic systems that are immune to defects and disorders due to the protection of their underlying topological phases. Mostly implemented in static systems, the studied…
Optical effects of quantum matter with interaction are key to physics and technology. The class of non-Hermitian (NH) phenomena is mostly explored in cold atoms, photonics, and metamaterials out of equilibrium. Effective NH systems due to…
Circularly polarised light opens a gap in the Dirac spectrum of graphene and topological insulator (TI) surfaces, thereby inducing a quantum Hall-like phase. We propose to detect the accompanying edge states and their current by the…
Recently, condensed matter and atomic experiments have reached a length-scale and temperature regime where new quantum collective phenomena emerge. Finding such physics in systems of photons, however, is problematic, as photons typically do…
Over the last years extraordinary advances in experimental and theoretical tools have allowed us to monitor and control matter at short time and atomic scales with a high-degree of precision. An appealing and challenging route towards…
Theories of photoinduced phase transitions have developed along with the progress in experimental studies, especially concerning their nonlinear characters and transition dynamics. At an early stage, paths from photoinduced local structural…
Weakly spin-orbit coupled electron and hole spins in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) constitute near-perfect two-level systems to explore the interaction of light and matter in the ultrastrong-drive regime. Under such highly…
Coupling light to ensembles of strongly interacting particles has emerged as a promising route toward achieving few photon nonlinearities. One specific way to implement this kind of nonlinearity is to interface light with highly excited…
Spatially uniform optical excitations can induce Floquet topological band structures within insulators which can develop similar or equal characteristics as are known from three-dimensional topological insulators. We derive in this article…
We propose a scheme to create an electronic Floquet vortex state by irradiating a two-dimensional semiconductor with the laser light carrying non-zero orbital angular momentum. We analytically and numerically study the properties of the…
Exotic phenomenon can be achieved in quantum materials by confining electronic states into two dimensions. For example, relativistic fermions are realised in a single layer of carbon atoms, the quantized Hall effect can result from…
We theoretically study topological properties of Floquet magnon in a laser-irradiated Kitaev-Heisenberg honeycomb ferromagnet with the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction by means of the Floquet-Bloch theory. It is found that the…
An important goal of modern condensed matter physics involves the search for states of matter with new emergent properties and desirable functionalities. Although the tools for material design remain relatively limited, notable advances…
The spin momentum non-orthogonality in 3D topological insulators leads to modification of the spin texture and brings in an out-of-plane spin polarization component. Apart from spin texture, the anomalous thermoelectric properties of these…
The ultrafast optical manipulation of ordered phases in strongly correlated materials is a topic of significant theoretical, experimental, and technological interest. Inspired by a recent experiment on light-induced superconductivity in…
Recent advances in laser technology now enable engineering the electronic structure of matter through strong light-matter interactions. However, the effective physicochemical properties of these laser-dressed nonequilibrium materials are…
The two dimensional square lattice antiferromagnet with spin-orbit coupling and nonsymmorphic symmetry is recently found to be topological insulator (TI). We theoretically studied the Floquet states of the antiferromagnetic crystal with…
Optical drives at terahertz and mid-infrared frequencies in quantum materials are increasingly used to reveal the nonlinear dynamics of collective modes in correlated many-body systems and their interplay with electromagnetic waves. Recent…
A resonantly excited coherent phonon leads to a periodic oscillation of the atomic lattice in a crystal structure bringing the material into a non-equilibrium electronic configuration. Periodically oscillating quantum systems can be…
Photo-induced switching from the low-spin state to the high-spin state is studied in a model of spin-crossover materials, in which long-range interactions are induced by elastic distortions due to different molecular sizes the two spin…
