The results of a research project, which was coordinated by prof. Daniele Fausti, led by our PhD student Francesca Giusti and involved, among several international collaborators, various researchers and students of the physics department of the University of Trieste, Dr. Alexandre Marciniak and Giorgia Sparapassi, have been recently published on Physical Review Letters. The research letter was further highlighted by the editors who decided to include it into the prestigious list of articles denoted as "Editors’ Suggestion".
The study is based on pump-probe experiments performed on cuprates and revealed that light pulses with specific photon energy and polarization can induce a state displaying superconductivity even at temperatures for which it is not observed at equilibrium. The work could represent a step forward in one of the key challenges of modern condensed matter physics, that is, the optical control of material properties on short timescales.
