• Abstract summary: 2D cooling of the full in-plane motion in any direction in the transverse plane is now an appealing milestone. We identify an optimal trap ellipticity, nanosphere size and cavity linewidth which allows for efficient 2D cooling. We show that bright/dark modes in the levitated set-up have a simple geometrical interpretation, related by rotations in the transverse plane.

• Abstract: The strong light-matter optomechanical coupling offered by Coherent Scattering (CS) set-ups have allowed the experimental realisation of quantum ground state cavity cooling of the axial motion of a levitated nanoparticle [U. Deli\'{c} et al., Science 367, 892 (2020)]. An appealing milestone is now quantum 2D cooling of the full in-plane motion, in any direction in the transverse plane. By a simple adjustment of the trap polarisation, one obtains two nearly equivalent modes, with similar frequencies $\omega_{x}\sim\omega_{y}$ and optomechanical couplings $g_{x}\simeq g_{y}$ -- in this experimental configuration we identify an optimal trap ellipticity, nanosphere size and cavity linewidth which allows for efficient 2D cooling. Moreover, we find that 2D cooling to occupancies $n_{x}+n_{y}\lesssim1$ at moderate vacuum ($10^{-6}$ mbar) is possible in a "Goldilocks" zone bounded by $\sqrt{\kappa\Gamma/4}\lesssim g_{x},g_{y}\lesssim|\omega_{x}-\omega_{y}|\lesssim\kappa$, where one balances the need to suppress dark modes whilst avoiding far-detuning of either mode or low cooperativities, and $\kappa$ ($\Gamma$) is the cavity decay rate (motional heating rate). With strong-coupling regimes $g_{x},g_{y}\gtrsim\kappa$ in view one must consider the genuine three-way hybridisation between $x$, $y$ and the cavity light mode resulting in hybridized bright/dark modes. Finally, we show that bright/dark modes in the levitated set-up have a simple geometrical interpretation, related by rotations in the transverse plane, with implications for directional sensing.

  A spin-dependent electron-phonon coupling model is investigated on a half-filled square lattice. Spin-orbit coupling emerges as an order in the ground state for any $lambda$ in the adiabatic limit. Our work opens up the possibility of hidden spin-orbit coupling in materials where it is otherwise forbidden by lattice symmetry.

Such advances in the nonlinear coupling strength of light, matter modes enable new physical regimes and could lead to applications such as orders of magnitude faster qubit readout and gates.

• Resonant generation of electromagnetic modes in nonlinear electrodynamics: Quantum perturbative approach [0.0]
  The paper studies resonant generation of higher-order harmonics in a closed cavity in Euler-Heisenberg electrodynamics from the point of view of pure quantum field theory. We consider quantum states of the electromagnetic field in a rectangular cavity with conducting boundary conditions, and calculate the cross-section for the merging of three quanta of cavity modes into a single one. We show that the amplitude of the merging process vanishes for a cavity with an arbitrary aspect ratio, and provide an explanation based on plane wave decomposition for cavity modes.

A symmetry derivation for the inter-layer moire tunnelling is provided for both the $Gamma$ and $M$ high-symmetry points. We fit our model to FeSe and argue that it is a viable platform for the simulation of the square Hubbard model with tunable interaction strength.

  We introduce a novel algorithmic cooling protocol for transferring phonons from poorly- to efficiently-cooled modes. We demonstrate it experimentally by simultaneously bringing two motional modes of a Be$+$-Ar$13+$ mixed Coulomb crystal close to their zero-point energies. We reach the lowest temperature reported for a highly charged ion, with a residual temperature of only $Tlesssim200mathrmmu K$ in each of the two modes.

We estimate observables which we cost in both the NISQ and fault-tolerant settings by assuming a simple target observable---the mean pair density.

  We consider a 2d dipolar system, $d=2$, with the generalized dipole-dipole interaction $sim r-a$, and the power $a$ controlled experimentally in trapped-ion or Rydberg-atom systems. We show that the spatially homogeneous tilt $beta$ of the dipoles giving rise to the anisotropic dipole exchange leads to the non-trivial reentrant localization beyond the locator expansion.
