“Predicting and Controlling Scalable Quantum Systems” by Prineha Narang
Quantum matter hosts spectacular excited-state and nonequilibrium effects, but many of these phenomena are still technologically underexplored. In this talk for the Virtual Science Forum, Prineha Narang discusses the microscopic dynamics, decoherence and optically-excited collective phenomena in quantum matter at finite temperatures.

Brebis Bleaney Memorial Lecture 2021: “Driven quantum materials” by Andrea Cavalleri
Professor Andrea Cavalleri from the Department of Physics at Oxford and the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter, Germany discusses how coherent electromagnetic radiation at Tera-Herz frequencies can be used to drive quantum solids periodically, leading to non-equilibrium magnetic, ferroelectric and superconducting phases ...
