Ultrafast generation and detection of propagating coherent acoustic phonon wave packets in ultra-thin iron pnictide films
D. Cheng, B. Song, J. H. Kang +9
We observe pronounced oscillations in differential reflectivity of 9 nm and 60 nm BaFe\textsubscript{2}As\textsubscript{2} (Ba-122) thin films using ultrafast optical spectroscopy.…
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…
Discovery of Light-induced Metastable Martensitic Anomaly Controlled by Single-Cycle Terahertz Pulses
X. Yang, B. Song, C. Vaswani +9
We report on an ultrafast photoinduced phase transition with a strikingly long-lived Martensitic anomaly driven by above-threshold single-cycle terahertz (THz) pulses in NbSn.…
Lightwave Terahertz Quantum Manipulation of Non-equilibrium Superconductor Phases and their Collective Modes
Martin Mootz, Jigang Wang, Ilias E. Perakis
We present a gauge-invariant density matrix description of non-equilibrium superconductor (SC) states with spatial and temporal correlations driven by intense terahertz (THz) light…
Light-Driven Raman Coherence as a Non-Thermal Route to Ultrafast Topology Switching
C. Vaswani, L. -L. Wang, D. H. Mudiyanselage +14
A grand challenge underlies the entire field of topology-enabled quantum logic and information science: how to establish topological control principles driven by quantum coherence…
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…
