FASTCORR Ultrafast dynamics of correlated electrons in solids

Coordinator: UPPSALA UNIVERSITET (SE)

Experimental activities at advanced photon sources, such as pulsed lasers, high harmonic generation facilities, and X-ray free electron lasers, generate results that challenge our understanding of light-matter interaction and ultrafast dynamics at the femtosecond and sub-femtosecond timescales. These results are particularly difficult to interpret for materials with correlated electrons, where a driving pulse can produce strong non-linear effects. In FASTCORR, we answer this challenge with the development of a theory for driven quantum many-body systems that goes well beyond existing methods.…

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

EU contribution: €7.7M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 6 years from 2020-06-01 to 2026-05-31.
