• Abstract summary: The rotational dynamics of a linear polar molecule in a two-color non-resonant cw laser field is studied. On average a one-color cw laser field doest not orient the molecule, being necessary a two-color one having odd and even products of the laser frequency to break the head-versus-tail order confinement.

• Abstract: A theoretical study of the rotational dynamics of a linear polar molecule in a two-color non-resonant cw laser field is presented. By systematically considering the interactions of this field with the electric dipole moment, polarizability and hyperpolarizability of the molecule, the effect of the symmetries of the Hamiltonian on the orientation and alignment is explored in a regime where the time-average approximation does not hold. It is shown that the alignment and orientation satisfy certain symmetries as a function of the phases and field strengths. On average a one-color cw laser field doest not orient the molecule, being necessary a two-color one having odd and even products of the laser frequency to break the head-versus-tail order confinement.

  We show that time-asymmetries in the cross-correlations of photons corresponding to different polarizations can be exploited to probe quantum coherent transport mechanisms and steady-state coherence properties. Our results put forward photon correlation asymmetry as a promising approach to investigate coherent contributions to excited-stated dynamics in molecular aggregates and other many-site quantum emitters.

  Two-color laser fields produce quantum interference between photoelectrons emitted on the leading and trailing edges of the laser field oscillations. We show that this interference is asymmetric along the light propagation direction and strongly enhances the sensitivity of the attoclock scheme to molecular chirality.

  We consider an ensemble of homonuclear diatomic molecules coupled to the two polarization directions of a Fabry-P'erot cavity. We identify a coupling mechanism mediated simultaneously by the two perpendicular polarizations, and inducing polaritonic relaxation towards molecular rotations. Our simulations indicate that the molecular rotational dynamics in gas-phase cavity-coupled systems can serve as a novel probe for non-radiative polaritonic decay towards the dark-states manifold.

• Rotational properties of two interacting cold polar molecules: linear, symmetric, and asymmetric tops [0.0]
  We model the molecules as quantum rigid rotors to take their rotational degrees of freedom into account. We find that the properties of the molecules depend strongly on the field's direction at short separations. The latter provides insight into the possible effects of accounting for rotational degrees of freedom in molecular dipolar gases.

  Dirac semimetal is a phase of matter, whose elementary excitation is described by the relativistic Dirac equation. Inspired by the flavor symmetry in particle physics, we propose a massless Dirac-like equation yet linking two Weyl fields with the identical chirality. Our work reveals a counterpart of the flavor symmetry in magnetic electronic systems, leading to further possibilities of emergent phenomena in quantum materials.
