Controlling the macroscopic properties of materials, particularly quantum materials, external inputs such as optical fields is a key goal of modern physical science. The presented a cross section of current experimental and theoretical progress with mostly ultrashort pulse excitations with frequencies ranging from the X-ray to the THz regions of the spectrum. This paper offers a perspective on the meaning of control in different scientific and engineering contexts. Despite the enormous challenge of implementing full feedback control on the types of material of interest in this discussion, I sketch such a system taken from a photosynthetic context to provide inspiration for future development in control of materials.
控制材料的宏观性质，特别是量子材料，外部输入，如光场，是现代物理科学的一个关键目标。本文介绍了当前实验和理论进展的一个横截面，主要是使用频率范围从 X 射线到太赫兹光谱区域的超短脉冲激发。本文提供了在不同科学和工程背景下控制的意义的观点。尽管在这个讨论中实施对感兴趣的材料类型的完全反馈控制具有巨大的挑战，但我从光合背景中描绘了这样一个系统，为材料控制的未来发展提供了灵感。
