    The effect of an ultrafast change in crystal symmetry on the coherent response of the lattice is investigated using the photoinduced semiconductor-metal phase transition in VO2. Below the photoinduced phase transition threshold, the four lowest Ag phonon modes of the monoclinic phase modulate the transient reflectivity. As the pump intensity is increased, a photoinduced phase transition occurs...

    Invited talk
    Nonequilibrium can give rise to a variety of intriguing phenomena that are unimaginable in equilibrium. Here I shall focus on two such phenomena, both generated by intense laser light in electron systems and/or cold atom systems: (i) Can we look for the abilities of strong laser light beyond just high-energy excitations? We propose here to evoke a topological system for controlling...
