Abstract: Understanding and predicting ultrafast, driven phenomena and the emergence of dynamical correlations in materials require theoretical frameworks that seamlessly integrate many-body theory, real-time dynamics, and open-quantum-system approaches on femtosecond timescales. Conventional many-body diagrammatic approaches are not scalable in practice and, as such, cannot describe the dynamics of realistic systems due to the complexity of time-evolution that incorporates time-nonlocal memory effects. I will present recent developments in overcoming these problems through the real-time Dyson expansion and dissipative Lindblad–Kadanoff–Baym approaches. The new formalisms circumvent the critical bottlenecks and provide a framework for computing spectroscopic observables in driven quantum systems. These approaches provide direct access to time-dependent spectral functions, enabling the analysis of dynamical signatures induced by external driving, relaxation, and dissipation. I will exemplify this by exploring the ultrafast renormalization of electronic states and the relaxation dynamics in model semiconductors. I will then focus on the description of emergent excitonic spectral signatures. I will specifically then comment on the limitations of the diagrammatic description of exciton-exciton interactions.
