• Abstract: We show that rhombohedral multilayer graphene supports topological frequency conversion, whereby a fraction of electrons transfer energy between two monochromatic light sources at a quantized rate. The pristine nature and gate tunability of these materials, along with a Berry curvature that directly couples to electric fields, make them ideal platforms for the experimental realization of topological frequency conversion. Among the rhombohedral family, we find that Bernal bilayer graphene appears most promising for THz-scale applications due to lower dissipation. We discuss strategies to circumvent cancellations between the two valleys of graphene and to minimize dissipative losses using commensurate frequencies, thus opening a potential pathway for net amplification.

  Bond-directional spin-spin interactions in a Fermi-Hubbard bilayer can be realized with ultracold fermions in Raman optical lattices. We analyze the Fermi-liquid and Mott-insulating phases, highlighting a correspondence between Dirac and Majorana quasi-particles. Our results establish that cold-atom quantum simulators based on Raman optical lattices can be a playground for extended Kitaev models.

  Coupling photonic cavity fields to electronic degrees of freedom in 2D materials introduces an additional control knob to the toolbox of solid-state engineering. We demonstrate a subtle competition between cavity frequency and interlayer tunneling in graphene stacks that is responsible for topological phase transitions in light-matter Hilbert space. Our findings pave the way for future control and engineering of graphene heterostructures with chiral cavity fields.

Through a combination of analytical perturbative approaches, we uncover a rich phase diagram driven by gauge-field-mediated resonant pair hopping.

  Two-dimensional optical spectroscopy experiments have shown that exciton transfer pathways in the Fenna-Matthews-Olson (FMO) photosynthetic complex differ drastically under reduced and oxidised conditions. Redfield theory was used to link the experimental observations to altered exciton transfer rates due to oxidative onsite energy shifts. We present non-perturbative estimations of transfer rates that yield a modified physical picture.

  We show that optical spectroscopy can experimentally identify phase-trapped and phase-delocalized dynamical regimes of condensation. In the weak-bias regime, the trapped dynamics of the order parameter's phase lead to an in-gap absorption line at a frequency almost independent of the bias voltage. Close to the transition between the trapped and freely oscillating states, we find a strong response upon application of a weak electric probe field.

A comparison with exact data obtained for a Holstein chain shows that a semiclassical treatment of both the electrons and phonons is required in order to correctly describe the phononic dynamics.
