Changing the properties of materials on demand is crucial both for understanding the conditions which allow for the appearance of emergent order and for generating new functionalities. Using laser light for this purpose is a particularly interesting approach: It...

On conventional computers, the performance of AI models is limited by the data transfer between the memory and the processor. Compute-in-Memory architectures offer a new paradigm: Vector-Matrix Multiplications may be performed by a voltage drop through a matrix of...

The translational symmetry of the ionic potential in a crystal results in a periodic electronic structure in momentum space. Analogously, the periodic electric field of an intense light pulse can create replica of electronic states. These so-called Floquet state are...

The bandstructure of naturally occurring Bernal bilayer graphene exhibits four linearly dispersed Dirac cones [1] but changes drastically when large electric displacement fields are applied across the two layers. Here, tunable van Hove singularities lead to the...
