Many of the optical and electronic properties of solids are caused by extremely fast dynamics of electrons on the femtosecond (1 fs = 10^-15 s) time scale. Our main interest is to trace ultrafast processes, while resolving the impact of interfaces, strong light-matter coupling, or local structural changes on the nanometer (1 nm = 10^-9 m) length scale. We are developing new methods to effectively capture nano-femto-dynamics, allowing us to record nanoscopic slow-motion pictures.

The central goal of the research project "Nano-femto-control of cooperative dynamics in van der Waals quantum materials" is to probe and control strong electronic correlations and pronounced collective excitations on their intrinsic femtosecond temporal and nanometer spatial scales. During the six-year funding period, the group will thus, for example, shed light onto tailored phase transitions in heterostructures of atomically thin van der Waals crystals.
