Abstract

We point out that fractionalized bosonic charge excitations can explain the recently discovered photoinduced superconducting-like response in κ-(ET)2Cu[N(CN)2]Br, an organic metal close to the Mott transition. The pump laser exerts a periodic drive on the fractionalized field, creating a nonequilibrium condensate, which gives a Drude peak much narrower than the equilibrium scattering rate, hence a superconducting-like response. Our proposal illuminates alternative possibilities of detecting fractionalization and can be readily tested in spin liquid candidates and in cold atom systems.
