Research at the pulse of time

We search for new ways of manipulating modern quantum materials using strong ultrashort light pulses in order to control emergent physical properties and find new functionalities of dynamically driven matter.
If you are interested in working with us, get in contact. We offer interesting projects for bachelor or master-theses. On larger projects you can work on a PhD thesis or join us on the postdoc level. Postdocs need to have experience with ultrashort pulse lasers and their methods within our research topics.
For possible topics see examples below or get in contact with us (stefan.kaiser@tu-dresden.de).

Insight into our research areas

Higgs spectroscopy

Advances in THz technology allow non-linear excitations of the Higgs amplitude mode in superconductors. This mode, the coherent oscillation of the superconducting order parameter, reveals unprecedented insight into the dynamics of superconducting condensates.

Non-Euqilibrium Quantum Many Body Dynamics

The interplay of correlations that leads to electronic order in the Mott transition or Charge Density Wave state is one of the key challenges in correlated electron systems. It gives rise to a large variety of different ground states ranging from highly unconventional (“bad”) metals to charge density wave states or superconductivity.

Ultrafast Control and Spectroscopy of Complex Quantum Materials

Ultrafast Control and Spectroscopy of Complex Quantum Materials We apply advanced nonlinear optical methods such as ultra-broad band pump-probe spectroscopy to investigate and control ultrafast dynamics in complex solid-state materials. The search for new functionalized materials is highly desired for technological progress allowing for novel applications.
