Role of phonon coupling in driving photo-excited Mott insulators towards a transient superconducting steady state

Abstract

Understanding light-induced hidden orders is relevant for nonequilibrium materials control and future ultrafast technologies. Hidden superconducting order, in particular, has been a focus of recent experimental and theoretical efforts. In this study, we investigate the stability of light-induced $\eta$ pairing. Using a memory truncated implementation of nonequilibrium dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) and entropy cooling techniques, we study the long-time dynamics of the photoinduced superconducting state. In the presence of coupling to a cold phonon bath, the photodoped system reaches a quasi-steady state, which can be sustained over a long period of time in large-gap Mott insulators. We show that this long-lived prethermalized state is well described by the nonequilibrium steady state implementation of DMFT.
