- Abstract: Engineering long-range interactions in cold-atom quantum simulators can lead
to exotic quantum many-body behavior. Fermionic atoms in ultracold atomic
mixtures can act as mediators, giving rise to long-range RKKY-type interactions
characterized by the dimensionality and density of the fermionic gas. Here, we
propose several tuning knobs, accessible in current experimental platforms,
that allow to further control the range and shape of the mediated interactions,
extending the existing quantum simulation toolbox. In particular, we include an
additional optical lattice for the fermionic mediator, as well as anisotropic
traps to change its dimensionality in a continuous manner. This allows us to
interpolate between power-law and exponential decays, introducing an effective
cutoff for the interaction range, as well as to tune the relative interaction
strengths at different distances. Finally, we show how our approach allows to
investigate frustrated regimes that were not previously accessible, where
symmetry-protected topological phases as well as chiral spin liquids emerge.

We show that thermal effects, which can be controlled by laser cooling, can unveil this flow through the appearance of thermal masses in interacting QFTs.

We report the existence of a sizeable quantum tunnelling splitting between the two lowest electronic spin levels of mononuclear Ni complexes.
The level anti-crossing, or magnetic clock transition, associated with this gap has been directly monitored by heat capacity experiments.
The comparison of these results with those obtained for a Co derivative, for which tunnelling is forbidden by symmetry, shows that the clock transition leads to an effective suppression of intermolecular spin-spin interactions.
