Collective modes in superconductors encode rich information about the superconducting state. Experimentally probing them requires THz lasers that push the system away from equilibrium. Here we present a response theory based on Keldysh formalism that allows one to capture the dynamics of a superconductor in the non-equilibrium regime. The method is based on a generalisation of the Kubo formula, and compute the response of a non-equilibrium state subject to a small external perturbation. Because of this, we can also isolate contributions from different channels to the electromagnetic response kernel. This theory allows one to capture phenomena in pump-probe experiment beyond Matsubara formalism, and gives insight into the dynamics of superconductors away from equilibrium.
