Light induced superconducting diode effect in patterned films
Evan M. Wilson, Hou-Tong Chen, Alexander V. Balatsky
Structured light offers a route to control superconducting transport without permanently modifying the material or applying a static bias. Here we show that structured optical driv…
Quantum turbulence in the many-body regime
Sayak Bhattacharjee, Mahendra K. Verma, Alexander V. Balatsky +1
We discuss phenomenology associated with turbulent hydrodynamics in quantum fluids from a condensed-matter perspective. We begin with weakly-interacting superfluids, often modeled…
Quantum Printing: Laguerre-Gaussian Beam Induced Topological Magnetic Textures
Yuefei Liu, Tien-Tien Yeh, Alexander V. Balatsky
Structured light has become a practical tool for controlling matter by applying tailored, space- and time-dependent electromagnetic fields. We show that Laguerre-Gaussian pulses im…
Induction of p-wave and d-wave order parameters in s-wave superconductors with light pulses
Hennadii Yerzhakov, Alexander Balatsky
We construct a generalized time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau model to demonstrate the possibility of inducing p- and d-wave components in an originally pure s-wave centrosymmetric sup…
Kapitza-Dirac interference of Higgs waves in superconductors
Daemo Kang, Tien-Tien Yeh, Takahiro Morimoto +1
We present a novel framework for controlling Higgs mode and vortex dynamics in superconductors using structured light. We propose a phenomenon analog of the Kapitza-Dirac effect in…
Light induced Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition in Superconducting Films
Tien-Tien Yeh, Evan Wilson, Mikael Fogelström +1
We report a light-driven non-equilibrium vortex Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition in a superconductor. We use a time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau model to demonstrate v…
