We show a photoinduced magnetic phase transition from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic ordering in a strongly correlated manganite during ∼100 fs laser pulses when optical polarization still interacts with spins. This reveals an initial quantum coherent regime of magnetism, which is driven by fast quantum spin-flip fluctuations correlated with a coherent superposition of manybody electronic states.
