Theoretical simulations of pump-probe spectroscopies in solids — •Michael Sentef — Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter, Hamburg

In this talk I will discuss recent progress of theoretical simulations of the nonequilibrium dynamics following laser excitations on femtosecond time scales. I will show two examples: (i) the nonequilibrium dynamics following laser stimulation in a cuprate high-Tc superconductor, where an electron-boson dissipation pathway could be identified in a theoretical-experimental collaboration [1,2,3]; and (ii) the proposed generation of Floquet states in solids with the prospect of engineering effective Hamiltonians [4,5]. I will use this to discuss different theoretical approaches to the nonequilibrium many-body problem - from models to materials - and the future opportunities they offer for the field of pump-probe spectroscopies.
