Controlling symmetry breaking in quantum materials with ultrafast correlated disorder

Quantum materials exhibit extraordinary behaviors—such as superconductivity and topological phases—that challenge our understanding of physics and have potential applications in quantum computing, energy transport, and sensing. These properties arise from delicate interactions between electrons, spins, and lattice degrees of freedom, which are poorly understood. Small changes in one parameter can often lead to large changes in the macroscopic material properties. We can exploit this sensitivity to control material properties with light, enabling switching between quantum states on ultrafast, femtosecond, timescales and sometimes achieving states that cannot be accessed by simply changing the material’s temperature. One of the most exciting nonthermal states to emerge is transient superconductivity—though the mechanisms driving this process remain unclear. Our recent work suggests that when light pulses interact with quantum material, they generate non-equilibrium correlated disorder: short-range fluctuations in the material’s structure. We believe that these fluctuations may drive changes in the electronic structure that enable quantum phenomena to emerge. Dr Simon E. Wall simon.wall@phys.au.dk
