The semiconductor Bloch equations (SBEs) are routinely used for simulations of strong-field laser-matter interactions in condensed matter. In systems without inversion or time-reversal symmetries, the Berry connections and transition dipole…
Based on the multiband semiconductor Bloch equations a microscopic approach to high-harmonic generation in crystalline solids which is able to properly describe degenerate bands and band crossings is presented and analyzed. It is well-known…
We develop the semiconductor Wannier equations (SWEs), a real-time, real-space formulation of ultrafast light-matter dynamics in crystals, by deriving the equations of motion for the electronic reduced density matrix in a localized Wannier…
In this work, the nonlinear optical response, and in particular, the high harmonic generation of semiconductors is addressed by using the Wannier gauge. One of the main problems in the time evolution of the Semiconductor Bloch equations…
High-harmonic generation in solids by intense laser pulses provides a fascinating platform for studying material properties and ultra-fast electron dynamics, where its coherent character is a central aspect. Using the semiconductor Bloch…
Stabilizer operations are at the heart of quantum error correction and are typically implemented in software-controlled entangling gates and measurements of groups of qubits. Alternatively, qubits can be designed so that the Hamiltonian…
Recently, high-order sideband polarimetry has been established as an experimental method that links the polarization of sidebands to an interference of Bloch wavefunctions. However, the robustness of sideband polarizations to increasing…
Emission of high-order harmonics from solids provides a new avenue in attosecond science. On one hand, it allows to investigate fundamental processes of the non-linear response of electrons driven by a strong laser pulse in a periodic…
We study the dispersion relation of the excitations of a dilute Bose-Einstein condensate confined in a periodic optical potential and its Bloch oscillations in an accelerated frame. The problem is reduced to one-dimensionality through a…
We investigate the dephasing dynamics of Bloch oscillations in semiconductor superlattices by means of a very simple model including disorder and applied electric fields. A thorough numerical study of our model allows us to claim that…
Blending of semiconductors for controlling the energy levels (band structure engineering) is an important technique, in particular, for optoelectronic applications. The underlying physics is the delocalized Bloch states, which average over…

We report on the control of interaction-induced dephasing of Bloch oscillations for an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate in an optical lattice under the influence of gravity. When tuning the strength of the interaction towards zero by means…
For many implementations of quantum computing, 1/f and other types of broad-spectrum noise are an important source of decoherence. An important step forward would be the ability to back out the characteristics of this noise from qubit…
We investigate the behavior of a Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) under the influence of a central barrier as the particle number trends towards the thermodynamic limit. In order to perform these studies, we present a novel method which is…
Reconstructing effective Hamiltonians of condensed matter systems directly from experimental data is challenging because of the intricate relationship between Hamiltonian parameters and observables. Here, we reconstruct an effective…
High-order harmonic generation (HHG) in solids is profoundly influenced by the dephasing of the coherent electron-hole motion driven by an external laser field. The exact physical mechanisms underlying this dephasing, crucial for accurately…
We present a new numerical method for accurate computations of solutions to (linear) one dimensional Schr\"odinger equations with periodic potentials. This is a prominent model in solid state physics where we also allow for perturbations by…
The optimization of quantum control for physical qubits relies on accurate noise characterization. Probing the spectral density $S(\omega)$ of semi-classical phase noise using a spin interacting with a continuous-wave (CW) resonant…
The momentum-space derivatives of Bloch wavefunctions are essential for studying quantum geometry and the equilibrium and response properties of solids. In practical first-principles calculations, these derivatives are obtained via Wannier…
