QUANTUM MATERIAL DYNAMICS (QMD)
The QMD group studies quantum materials' dynamics under extreme low temperatures and high pressures. Using ultrashort light pulses in the THz, optical, and x-ray ranges, we investigate these systems' responses after ultrafast perturbations. Our goal is to understand the macroscopic properties and complex phase diagrams of materials like Mott insulators and spin-ladder compounds by decoupling the effects of different degrees of freedom. more
