Cavity Control of Mott Insulators and the Mott Transition

Watch a 49-minute conference talk from the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics where Martin Eckstein from the University of Hamburg explores the control of quantum many-body states in solid-state systems using classical laser pulses. Delve into recent developments in time-resolved experiments that induce and enhance correlated electron states, including superconducting, magnetic, and insulating phases, as well as topological states of matter. Learn about promising new directions in quantum optical techniques and strong cavity fields applied to materials science, offering novel approaches to preparing, manipulating, and studying correlated electron phases. Part of a broader conference bringing together theoretical and experimental researchers from solid state and quantum optics backgrounds to advance understanding of quantum materials control.
