Ultrafast theoryWork with quantities on the Keldysh-Kadanoff-Baym contour. Exact solutions possible with dmft and other methods. Here, the system is noninteracting, so solvable.
Calculations become expensive!

Full gap Gap reforms
Peierl’s substitution and the Hilbert transform
The band structure is a sum of cosines on a hypercubic lattice:
which becomes the sum of two “band energies” when the field lies in the diagonal direction after the Peierl’s substitution.These band energies have a joint Gaussian density of states, so a summation over the Brillouin zone can be replaced by a two-dimensional Gaussian-weighted integral (in infinite dimensions).

Full gap Gap reforms
Planck-Einstein QuantaPlanck and Einstein introduced the idea of the photon carrying energy given by E=ħω
The Kubo-Greenwood linear response formalism confirms this with the strength of the response proportional to the amplitude and the Planck-Einstein relation determining the energy available for excitation

Full gap Gap reforms
But for large fields the amplitude of the excitation is important
Landau and Zener showed that tunneling from one band to another depends exponentially on the rate that the gap region is crossed. Since this rate is proportional to the amplitude of an effective driving field, it is the amplitude, not the frequency of the excitation that governs the excitation.
As the amplitude increases to a large enough value, the excitation becomes classically allowed.

Conclusions• Showed the simplest example of time-resolved
photoemission in a CDW system which shares many of the behaviors seen in experiment, including a decoupling of the electronic gap from the CDW order parameter.
• Showed results for a novel experiment in quantum excitation which makes a transition from Planck-Einstein quanta to multiphoton processes, to amplitude driven excitation to complex quantum oscillations.
