Periodic dynamics in superconductors induced by an impulsive optical quench

Light-induced superconductivity is a recent phenomenon where many aspects of the underlying physics are still to be fully understood. Here, the authors analyse coupled Ginzburg-Landau and Maxwell equations to investigate the dynamics of the quantum states when a superconductor is irradiated by a las...

Description
Summary:Light-induced superconductivity is a recent phenomenon where many aspects of the underlying physics are still to be fully understood. Here, the authors analyse coupled Ginzburg-Landau and Maxwell equations to investigate the dynamics of the quantum states when a superconductor is irradiated by a laser pulse.
