Controlling properties of the materials with light is a novel research direction in condensed matter physics that is sparked by the recent experimental advances in controlling chemical reactions, enhancing transport in semiconductors or even inducing superconductivity. Topological materials play a particularly important role in this direction due to their robustness and their possible application in quantum technologies. The goal of this internship is to study how to use light to probe and control topological properties of quantum materials. This project relies on state-of-the-art analytical and/or numerical techniques of quantum many-body physics to address the hybrid light-matter system. After successful completion of the internship there is a possibility to go on with a PhD and work on the ERC Project “Q-Light-Topo”.
