23.06.2025 'News & Views' by Julien Madeo and Keshav Dani in Nature Physics on 'Floquet states in graphene revealed at last'.

Time-resolved photoemission shows evidence of Floquet states in graphene, resolving a long-standing debate and unlocking engineering of quantum phases with light in semi-metals.

Julien Madeo and Keshav Dani discuss the back-to-back articles on the ‘Observation of Floquet states in graphene’ published in Nature Physics, one by our team and the other by Nuh Gedik and his colleagues. The coherent engineering of quantum phases in semimetals has been successful, paving the way for exciting future research!
