An important goal of modern condensed-matter physics involves the search for states of
matter with emergent properties and desirable functionalities. Although the tools for material …

In this brief review, we summarize and elaborate on some of the nomenclature of polaritonic
phenomena and systems as they appear in the literature on quantum materials and …

The properties of organic conductors are often tuned by the application of chemical or
external pressure, which change orbital overlaps and electronic bandwidths while leaving …

Cavity control of quantum matter may offer new ways to study and manipulate many-body
systems. A particularly appealing idea is to use cavities to enhance superconductivity …

A number of experiments have evidenced signatures of enhanced superconducting
correlations after photoexcitation. Initially, these experiments were interpreted as resulting …

We propose a mechanism for light-induced unconventional superconductivity in a two-valley
semiconductor with a massive Dirac-type band structure. The superconducting phase results …

Within the Floquet theory of periodically driven quantum systems, we demonstrate that an off-
resonant high-frequency electromagnetic field can induce the Lifshitz phase transition in …

Pump-probe experiments have suggested the possibility to control electronic correlations by
driving infrared-active (IR-active) phonons with resonant midinfrared laser pulses. In this …

The ultrafast manipulation of quantum material has led to many novel and significant
discoveries. Among them, the light-induced transient superconductivity in cuprates achieved …

A superconductor subject to electromagnetic irradiation in the terahertz range can show
amplitude oscillations of its order parameter. However, coupling this so-called Higgs mode …
