Light Quantum Control of Persisting Higgs Modes in Iron-Based Superconductors

C. Vaswani, J. H. Kang, M. Mootz +12

The Higgs mechanism, i.e., spontaneous symmetry breaking of the quantum vacuum, is a cross-disciplinary principle, universal for understanding dark energy, antimatter and quantum m…

Coherent Band-Edge Oscillations and Dynamic LO Phonon Mode Splitting as Evidence for Polaronic Coupling in Perovskites

Z. Liu, C. Vaswani, L. Luo +12

The coherence of collective modes, such as phonons, and their modulation of the electronic states are long sought in complex systems, which is a cross-cutting issue in photovoltaic…

Discovery of Terahertz Second Harmonic Generation from Lightwave Acceleration of Symmetry--Breaking Nonlinear Supercurrents

C. Vaswani, C. Sundahl, M. Mootz +11

We report terahertz (THz) second harmonic generation (SHG) in superconductors (SC) with inversion symmetric equilibrium states that forbid even-order nonlinearities. Such SHG signa…

Impact of damping on superconducting gap oscillations induced by intense Terahertz pulses

Tianbai Cui, Xu Yang, Chirag Vaswani +3

We investigate the interplay between gap oscillations and damping in the dynamics of superconductors taken out of equilibrium by strong optical pulses with sub-gap Terahertz freque…
