Micro- and nano-scale mechanical resonators operated in the nonlinear regime exhibit unusual dynamic behavior, e.g. the phenomenon of persistent response, which denotes the development of a vibrating state with nearly constant and high amplitude over a wide frequency range.
Electronic correlations are a central theme in contemporary condensed matter physics – and hold promise for new functionality in quantum materials.

Electron recollision in an intense laser field gives rise to a variety of phenomena, ranging from electron diffraction to coherent soft X-ray emission.
The prediction and subsequent discovery of robust spin-polarized surface states on topological band insulators has launched a new subfield of physics over the last decade.
