Strongly correlated solids are extremely complex and fascinating quantum systems, where new states continue to emerge and where interaction with light may trigger interplay between them. In this interplay, sub-laser cycle electron response is particularly attractive as a tool for ultrafast manipulation of matter at PHz scale.
We introduce a new type of non-linear multidimensional spectroscopy, which allows us to unravel the sub-cycle dynamics of strongly correlated systems interacting with few-cycle infrared pulses and the complex interplay between different correlated states evolving on the sub-femtosecond time-scale. We use laser-driven two-dimensional Hubbard model to resolve sub-cycle transitions between Mott-insulating and metallic states, and follow pathways of charge and energy flow leading to final non-equilibrium state stabilized by correlations after the end of the laser pulse.
