Femtosecond science on-chip: Controlling non-equilibrium quantum transport in graphene heterostructures (B08*)

• Subject Area: Experimental Condensed Matter Physics ; Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics
• Term: from 2019 to 2023
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 170620586

We propose a comprehensive program in both experiment and theory aimed at engineering non-equilibrium quantum phases in graphene heterostructures and controlling the emergent transport properties in nanostructured optoelectronic devices. Non-equilibrium quantum phases will be induced via coherent light-matter interaction, with the central goal of creating a light induced topological insulator and a light induced superconducting state. Theoretically, this will be described by a numerical implementation of a dissipative Master equation approach. Collaborations with B2, B3, B9, C1 and C3 are envisioned.
