Intertwined phases of light and quantum matter

SPICE Workshop on Non-equilibrium Quantum Materials Design, June 27th - 29th 2023

Justin Song

Light is most often utilized as a versatile probe of quantum matter. However, when it strongly interacts with materials, new collector behavior not found in either the irradiating light or in the electronic material individually can emerge. In this talk, I will describe how light can strongly alter the state and behavior of matter producing interesting light driven ferroic phases and novel collective behavior.
