Condensed Matter Cavity QED in the Ultrastrong Coupling Regime

Explore quantum many-body states of matter in solid-state systems through this 47-minute conference talk delivered by Junichiro Kono from Rice University at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics. Delve into the control of these states using short strong classical laser pulses, examining recent developments in time-resolved experiments that induce or enhance correlated electron states, including superconducting, magnetic, and correlated insulating phases, as well as topological states of matter. Learn about the intersection of quantum optical techniques and strong cavity fields with materials science, discovering new approaches to preparing, manipulating, and investigating correlated electron phases. Part of a broader conference bringing together theoretical and experimental researchers from solid state and quantum optics backgrounds to discuss advances and future directions in the field.
