Explore the cutting-edge field of dynamical control of electronic interactions in quantum materials in this conference talk from the 2021 Non-Equilibrium Universality in Many-Body Physics KITP Conference. Delve into the world of quantum simulators and their impact on non-equilibrium many-body physics. Examine the universal aspects of many-body systems far from equilibrium, bridging the gap between statistical physics, AMO, condensed matter, and high-energy physics. Discover novel phases of matter and their associated universality classes that emerge beyond traditional equilibrium paradigms. Investigate topics such as optical control of quantum materials, engineering electronic interactions, and modifying the Hubbard U in solid states. Learn about measuring transient electronic interactions, possible microscopic mechanisms, and the use of light as a tuning knob for quantum phases. Gain insights into witnessing entanglement in spectroscopy and the light-induced reshaping of XAS spectra. Enhance your understanding of the latest advancements in quantum materials research and their potential applications. Read more
