• Abstract: We investigate a Bose-Einstein condensate of $F= 1$ $^{87}$Rb atoms in a 2D spin-dependent optical lattice generated by intersecting laser beams with a superposition of polarizations. For $^{87}$Rb the effective interaction of an atom with the electromagnetic field contains a scalar and a vector (called as fictitious magnetic field, $B_{fic}$) potentials. The Rb atoms behave as a quantum rotor (QR) with angular momentum given by the sum of the atomic rotational motion angular momentum and the hyperfine spin. The ground state of the QR is affected upon applying an external magnetic field, $B_{ext}$, perpendicular to the plane of QR motion and a sudden change of its topology occurs as the ratio $B_{ext}/B_{fic}$ exceeds critical value. It is shown that the change of topology of the QR ground state is a result of combined action of Zeeman and Einstein-de Haas effects. The first transfers atoms to the largest hyperfine component to polarize the sample along the field as the external magnetic field is increased. The second sweeps spin to rotational angular momentum, modifying the kinetic energy of the atoms.

  We have investigated non-dipole effects in the interaction of a hydrogen atom with elliptically polarized laser pulses of intensity 10$14$ W/cm$2$ with about 8 fs duration. The transition from linear to elliptical laser polarization leads to the twisting of the atom relative to the axis directed along the pulse propagation.

  Energy transfer between different mechanical degrees of freedom in atom-molecule collisions has been widely studied and largely understood. Here, we directly observed the energy transfer from atomic hyperfine to molecular rotation in the $87$Rb. The observations confirm that spin is coupled to mechanical rotation at short range and establish a benchmark for future theoretical studies.

  We present an interaction modeling for the relativistic spin-0 charged particles moving in a uniform magnetic field. As a functional approach to the nuclear interaction, we consider particle bound states without antiparticle regime. Putting the approximation to spin-zero motion with $V(r)$$neq$$0$ and $S(r)$$=$$0$, one can introduced solvable model in the 2D polar space.

  Spin-bath interactions are strongly anisotropic, and rapid physical rotation has long been used in solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance. We show that the interaction between electron spins of nitrogen-vacancy centers and a bath of $13$C nuclear spins introduces decoherence into the system. Our findings offer new insights into the use of physical rotation for quantum control with implications for quantum systems having motional and rotational degrees of freedom that are not fixed.
