Quantum Matter Seminar

Inducing quantum states in materials with light

Gregory Fiete, Professor of Physics, Department of Physics, Northeastern University,

Recent advances in laser technology allow for higher levels of quantum state control in materials. In this talk, I will describe recent theoretical studies from my group exploring different mechanisms of quantum state control. I will discuss situations of coexisting competing orders, Floquet engineering of psuedo-magnetic fields, and a scheme for opto-electrical control of chiral lattice structure for reversable, non-contact enantiomer control in a material. The signatures of these states and transitions in various observables will be discussed.
