Light–matter interaction in 2D and topological materials provides a fascinating control knob
for inducing emergent, non-equilibrium properties and achieving new functionalities in the …

Quantum-mechanical phenomena underpin the behaviour of quantum materials at the
microscopic level. The description of several essential properties of these materials …

The field of two-dimensional (2D) materials-based nanophotonics has been growing at a
rapid pace, triggered by the ability to design nanophotonic systems with in situ control …

The coupling between superconductors and oscillation cycles of light pulses, ie, lightwave
engineering, is an emerging control concept for superconducting quantum electronics …

In high-energy physics, the Higgs field couples to gauge bosons and fermions and gives
mass to their elementary excitations. Experimentally, such couplings can be inferred from …

Photo-excitation at terahertz and mid-infrared frequencies has emerged as an effective way
to manipulate functionalities in quantum materials, in some cases creating non-equilibrium …

The Higgs mechanism, ie, spontaneous symmetry breaking of the quantum vacuum, is a
cross-disciplinary principle, universal for understanding dark energy, antimatter and …

We study the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of a Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer condensate
subject to a periodic drive. We demonstrate that the combined effect of drive and interactions …

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 …

Motivated by the recent experimental progress in studying conventional and unconventional
superconductors in a pump-probe setup, we perform a comprehensive theoretical analysis …
