摘要:

希格斯机制,即,量子真空的自发对称性破缺是一个跨学科的原理,普遍适用于理解暗能量、反物质和量子材料,从超导到磁性。然而,单带超导体(SC)中的希格斯模式目前正处于争论之中,因为它们与电荷密度波动竞争。一个独特的希格斯模式,可控制的太赫兹(THz)激光脉冲,可以出现在多波段,非常规的SC通过强{ \em带间}库仑相互作用,但尚未访问。在这里,我们发现并证明了铁基高温超导体中这种集体模的量子控制。使用双脉冲,相位相干太赫兹光谱,我们观察到一个可调谐的和相干的2 $Δ_{\mathrm{SC}}$振幅振荡的复杂序参量在这样的SC与耦合的上下带。振幅模式振荡对太赫兹驱动场的非线性依赖性与任何单波段和常规SC结果不同:我们观察到共振强度的大的非线性变化,但具有持续的模式频率。我们认为,这一结果提供了令人信服的证据,通过强带间相干相互作用的电子和空穴振幅模式之间的瞬态耦合。为了支持这种情况下,我们进行量子动力学建模的混合希格斯机制没有调用额外的混乱或声子。除了区分集体模式和电荷波动之外,多带SC的光量子控制还可以扩展到探测和操纵不同量子材料中的多体纠缠和隐藏的对称性。

英文摘要:

The Higgs mechanism, i.e., spontaneous symmetry breaking of the quantum vacuum, is a cross-disciplinary principle, universal for understanding dark energy, antimatter and quantum materials, from superconductivity to magnetism. Yet, Higgs modes in one-band superconductors (SCs) are currently under debate due to their competition with charge-density fluctuations. A distinct Higgs mode, controllable by terahertz (THz) laser pulses, can arise in multi-band, unconventional SCs via strong {\em interband} Coulomb interaction, but is yet to be accessed. Here we both discover and demonstrate quantum control of such collective mode in iron-based high-temperature superconductors. Using two-pulse, phase coherent THz spectroscopy, we observe a tunable and coherent 2$Δ_{\mathrm{SC}}$ amplitude oscillation of the complex order parameter in such SC with coupled lower and upper bands. The nonlinear dependence of the amplitude mode oscillations on the THz driving fields is distinct from any one-band and conventional SC results: we observe a large nonlinear change of resonance strength, yet with a persisting mode frequency. We argue that this result provides compelling evidence for a transient coupling between the electron and hole amplitude modes via strong interband coherent interaction. To support this scenario, we perform quantum kinetic modeling of a hybrid Higgs mechanism without invoking extra disorder or phonons. In addition to distinguishing between collective modes and charge fluctuations, the light quantum control of multiband SCs can be extended to probe and manipulate many-body entanglement and hidden symmetries in different quantum materials.
