Topological phases of matter are highly non-trivial configurations of the electronic or spin system, which often result in exotic and previously unimaginable material properties. The topology endows these states with a remarkable stability that often allows them to be realized at room temperature and with lifetimes exceeding decades. A key challenge, however, is the creation of topological...

Materials with structural and electronic properties with reduced dimensionality are an important class that displays many interesting properties both in and out of equilibrium. In this talk I report on two recent studies on such systems. First, I describe an investigation of the coherent vibrational dynamics associated with the quasi-1D material K0.3MoO3, a charge density wave material. Here...
