The advent of intense ultrashort optical pulses spanning a frequency range from terahertz to
the visible has opened a new era in the experimental investigation and manipulation of …

Abstract Development of ultrafast lasers and nonlinear optical techniques over the last two
decades provides tools to access real-time dynamics of low energy excitations in …

The recent observation of the light-induced superconducting (SC)-like transient response in
c-axis optical conductivity far above the SC transition temperature T c in underdoped Y Ba 2 …

The quench dynamics of a system involving two competing orders is investigated using a
Ginzburg-Landau theory with relaxational dynamics. We consider the scenario where a …

Coherent optical driving in quantum solids is emerging as a research frontier, with many
reports of interesting non-equilibrium quantum phases,,–and transient photo-induced …

Cavity control of quantum matter may offer new ways to study and manipulate many-body
systems. A particularly appealing idea is to use cavities to enhance superconductivity …

Optical excitation in the cuprates has been shown to induce transient superconducting
correlations above the thermodynamic transition temperature TC, as evidenced by the …

We discuss a systematic error in time-resolved optical conductivity measurements that
becomes important at high pump intensities. We show that common optical nonlinearities …

We propose a novel nonequilibrium phenomenon, through which a prompt quench from a
metal to a transient superconducting state can induce large oscillations of the order …

The interplay between charge order and superconductivity remains one of the central
themes of research in quantum materials. In the case of cuprates, the coupling between …
