Ultrafast atomic-scale imaging and control of nonequilibrium phenomena in quantum materials
Quantum materials (QMs) are of great importance for the development of future quantum nanophotonics and nanoelectronic devices. To harness their full potential and design novel functionalities, it is essential to understand how their macroscopic quantum states arise from the microscopic interaction between their charge, lattice, orbital, and spin degrees of freedom, and how they respond to external perturbations. While ultrafast techniques offer unique insight into microscopic interactions at global, macroscopic scales, they fall short of capturing the local response of a many-body quantum state directly at the atomic scale. In contrast, scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) enables imaging…
