Inducing Order with Light - Quantum Control of Many-Body States in Solid-State Systems

Watch a 46-minute conference talk exploring the control of quantum many-body states in solid-state systems using classical laser pulses. Delve into recent experimental advances in inducing and enhancing correlated electron states, including superconducting, magnetic, and correlated insulating phases, as well as topological states of matter. Learn from Andrea Cavalleri of MPI-SDM as part of a broader conference bringing together theoretical and experimental researchers from solid state and quantum optics backgrounds. Discover the potential of quantum optical techniques and strong cavity fields in materials science for preparing, manipulating, and studying correlated electron phases. Coordinated by Martin Claassen, Michael Sentef, and Susanne Yelin at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, this presentation offers insights into the intersection of quantum physics and materials science.
