Today's #arXivsummary: https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.01597 by Tai & Claassen. Authors shows that irradiation with light permits a new quantum-geometric tool to understand and probe quantum materials; namely, light may be used to directly deform the
material’s Wannier orbitals that comprise the states near the Fermi energy. Non-equilibrium control of Moire heterostructures demonstrated; THz radiation may conspire to yield fragile topological obstruction to alter material's interactions. #CondMat #StrEl #arXiv_2303_01597
