contents Recent advancements in pulse laser technology have facilitated the exploration of non-equilibrium spectroscopy of electronic states in the presence of strong electric fields across a broad range of photon energies. The Keldysh crossover serves as an indicator that distinguishes between excitations resulting from photon absorption triggered by near-infrared multicycle pulses and those arising from quantum tunneling induced by terahertz pulses. Using time-dependent density-matrix renormalization group, we investigate the emergence of the Keldysh crossover in a one-dimensional (1D) Mott insulator. We find that the Drude weight is proportional to photo-doped doublon density when a pump pulse induces photon absorption. In contrast, the Drude weight is suppressed when a terahertz pulse introduces doublons and holons via quantum tunneling. The suppressed Drude weight accompanies glassy dynamics with suppressed diffusion, which is a consequence of strong correlations and exhibits finite polarization decaying slowly after pulse irradiation. In the quantum tunneling region, entanglement entropy slowly grows logarithmically. These contrasting behaviors between the photon-absorption and quantum tunneling regions are a manifestation of the Keldysh crossover in 1D Mott insulators and provide a novel methodology for designing the localization and symmetry of electronic states called subcycle-pulse engineering.
