• Abstract: We study the fluctuation-mediated interactions between two atoms in the presence of an aplanatic lens, demonstrating an enhancement in their resonant dipole-dipole interaction. We derive the field propagation of the linear optical system in terms of the electromagnetic Green's tensor for an aplanatic lens. The collective internal atomic dynamics is analyzed via a Lindblad master equation, which allows one to characterize the dispersive and dissipative interactions between atoms. We thus demonstrate that the resonant dipole-dipole coupling between the atoms can be enhanced in the focal plane of the lens, and the lens-modified energy exchange between the atoms can create a mutual trapping potential. Our work opens new avenues for expanding dipole-dipole interactions to macroscopic scales and the experimental platforms to study them.

  We study the impact of the rotating-wave approximation on the quantum dynamics of multiple molecules. In the near-field zone, the reduction of inter-molecule interaction can reach up to 50 percent. It is revealed that the rotating-wave approximation can profoundly affect the dynamics of the molecules in both strong and weak coupling regimes.

  We use a functional integral approach to evaluate the quantum interaction energy between two neutral atoms. We show that the resulting expression for the energy becomes the Van der Waals interaction energy at the first non-trivial order. We also explore the opposite, strong-coupling limit, which yields a result for the interaction energy as well as a threshold for the existence of a vacuum decay probability.

  We theoretically investigate the properties of two interacting ultracold highly magnetic atoms trapped in a one-dimensional harmonic potential. We show the role of inability and symmetries in the dynamics by studying the time evolution of the observables. The presented model may depict the on-site interaction of the extended Hubbard models, therefore giving a better understanding of the fundamental building block of the respective many-body quantum simulators.
