Light-controlled Higgs modes found in superconductors

Illustration showing light at trillions of pulses-per-second (red flash) and accessing and controlling Higgs modes (gold balls) -- a state of matter found at the quantum scale of atoms, their electronic states and energetic excitations -- in an iron-based superconductor. Even at different energy ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item.
