DESCRIPTION:I will discuss how coherent electromagnetic radiation at Tera-
 Hertz and mid-infrared frequencies can be used to manipulate complex solid
 s. As collective excitations are driven coherently and nonlinearly\, new t
 ypes of interactions in otherwise virtually uncoupled normal modes of the 
 material are activated. These drives give rise to non-thermal states with 
 unconventional properties\, and sometimes with emergent order under a driv
 e. Interesting examples involve the nonlinear control of the crystal latti
 ce\, used to induce magnetic order\, ferroelectricity and non-equilibrium 
 superconductivity at high temperatures.
