non-adiabatic quantum electrodynamics
Many of the fundamental laws and unexpected phenomena in condensed matter physics are caused by extremely fast dynamics of electrons and ions on the femtosecond time (1 fs = 10-15 s) and terahertz frequency scale (1 THz = 1012 Hz). Unravelling such ultrafast processes is the main interest of our research. We develop next-generation, high-intensity femtosecond laser sources and THz technology, and employ them to explore novel femtophysics.

Fabian Mooshammer received the PhD award by the German terahertz center (Deutsches Terahertzzentrum e.V.) for his thesis "Multi-terahertz nanotomography of van der Waals quantum materials". The biennial award was conferred in the annual meeting on May 7.... more
Together with the groups of Dominique Bougeard (UR) and Cristiano Ciuti (Université de Paris), we explored a novel regime of light-matter interaction, where both the Rabi frequency induced by a coherent driving field and the vacuum Rabi frequency set by a cavity field are comparable to the carrier frequency of light. The resulting subcycle nonlinearities may facilitate novel nonclassical light sources, quantum phase transitions, or cavity chemistry with virtual photons.
The results have been published in Physical Review Letters. ...

In a collaboration with the group of Ermin Malic (University of Marburg), we demonstrated proximity-controlled strong-coupling between phonons and electrically neutral excitons at atomically sharp interfaces of WSe2/gypsum heterostructures, creating new exciton-phonon mixed eigenmodes, called excitonic Lyman polarons. These findings could enable new man-made phase transitions in artificially stacked materials.
