Theory of ultra-fast dynamics in correlated multi-band systems
Many of the intriguing properties of complex materials, such as magnetism and superconductivity rely on the cooperative behavior of electrons in systems with several active spin and orbital degrees of freedom. Using femtosecond laser pulses it has become possible to probe and control these systems on microscopic timescales. This does not only provide an entirely new approach to understand the emergence of collective phases, but it may also help to push the current speed limits in information and communication technologies. However, in contrast to the remarkable experimental progress, theory is still unable to provide a microscopic description of the ultrafast dynamics in most materials even…
