Conference Description
ATTENTION: The GRS bus picks up and drops off at the Florence Airport (FLR) only. GRC no longer has bus service to / from the Pisa Airport.
The Ultrafast Phenomena in Cooperative Systems GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.
While research in ultrafast science has historically been exploratory in nature, recent advances in laser and X-ray instrumentation have facilitated more targeted inquiry, through surgical, light-driven manipulation of microscopic degrees of freedom in condensed matter. Quantum materials, often characterized by competing interactions of comparable energy scales, are particularly amenable to such approaches, offering the potential for ultrafast control of macroscopic properties and new emergent phases. At the same time, this very landscape of competing interactions and intertwined degrees of freedom poses challenges to ultrafast experimental probes as well as theoretical descriptions of the underlying nonequilibrium phenomena. This seminar will highlight such targeted approaches towards light-driven manipulation of quantum materials. This includes work that leverages novel ultrafast excitation protocols, advanced spectroscopic and scattering probes, and nonequilibrium theoretical studies that chart out new possibilities towards this goal.
An outline of the program components for this GRS is displayed below. The seminar chair is currently developing their detailed program schedule, which will include the speakers they select from submitted abstracts, in addition to any additional components outlined below. The detailed program will be available by December 5, 2023. Please check back for updates.
