Dynamical Control of Quantum Materials

International Workshop
22 - 26 May 2023

This workshop aims at identifying strategies for developing a unified understanding of nonthermal pathways to control quantum materials with light by bringing together experimentalists and theorists in the field. A main goal is to establish a roadmap for creating next-generation technologies based on ultrafast light-matter interactions in solids.

Topics include

  • Designer metastable phases: How can we control effective energy landscapes out of thermal equilibrium? 
  • Dressed nonequilibrium states in light of dissipation: How can Floquet engineering be achieved in solids?
  • Nonlinear responses: How can we bridge nonlinear optics and pump-probe spectroscopies? 
  • Towards quantum technologies: How can ultrafast light-matter interactions be harnessed  as a resource for quantum technological applications?
