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…
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…
Structured light and induced vorticity in superconductors II: Quantum Print with Laguerre-Gaussian beam
Tien-Tien Yeh, Hennadii Yerzhakov, Logan Bishop-Van Horn +2
Challenge to control the quantum states of matter via light have been at the forefront of modern research on driven quantum matter. We explore the imprinting effects of structured…
Structured light and induced vorticity in superconductors I: Linearly polarized light
Tien-Tien Yeh, Hennadii Yerzhakov, Logan Bishop-Van Horn +2
We propose an approach to use linearly polarized light to imprint superconducting vortices. Within the framework of the generalized time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equations we demo…
Laguerre-Gaussian light induction of orbital currents and Kapitza stabilization in superconducting circuits
Hennadii Yerzhakov, Tien-Tien Yeh, Alexander Balatsky
We investigate the effects of a Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) beam on the superconducting state. We show that the vortex angular momentum of a LG beam affects the superconducting state an…
