Abstract

Understanding correlated quantum materials far from equilibrium is a central challenge in condensed matter physics. Recent ultrafast optical, X-ray, and electron probes have uncovered hidden phases, light-induced superconductivity, and nonthermal electronic orders. On the theoretical side, new computational and analytical tools are providing crucial ways to predict and interpret these phenomena. With a focus on ultrafast processes, transient dynamics, and nonequilibrium steady states, this minicolloquium will bring together experimental and theoretical researchers to discuss correlated matter under nonequilibrium conditions. By connecting cutting-edge experiments with advanced modeling and theory, the session aims to identify common mechanisms that govern materials far from equilibrium and to discuss how controlled driving can be used to design new material functionalities.
