| contents | Light offers a route to engineer new phases of matter far from equilibrium, including transient states suggestive of superconducting, charge-ordered, and excitonic ordering behavior. Yet it remains unclear how optical excitation can dynamically produce long-range phase coherence-a defining feature of true order such as superconductivity-rather than merely enhancing local pairing. Here we show that impulsively driven low-frequency phonons enhance long-range electronic correlations in a low-dimensional metal. Through numerically exact simulations, we demonstrate that slow phonons suppress dynamical disorder, enabling buildup of coherence and enhancement of charge (and pairing) orders. These findings provide direct evidence that light can mediate enhancement of long-range order and suggest that future experimental strategies-such as the design of selective excitations of narrow phonon distributions to limit dephasing-may offer viable routes to design and stabilize transient superconducting states. |
