Title
Quantum Materials in and Beyond Equilibrium
Abstract
Spins form well-defined lattices in many quantum materials and serve as model systems to study many-body states such as interacting quantum dimers, Luttinger liquids, or magnon Bose-Einstein condensates. Neutrons and photons are unique tools for high-precision studies of such states in and beyond equilibrium. An overview of current frontiers in the field will be presented with special focus on exciting new opportunities that free electron lasers like SwissFEL and ultra-fast lasers in FastLab offer to study out-of-equilibrium quantum phenomena.
