• Abstract: We theoretically study the dynamics of $n$-level spin-orbit coupled alkaline-earth fermionic atoms with SU($n$) symmetric interactions. We consider three dimensional lattices with tunneling along one dimension, and the internal levels treated as a synthetic dimension, realizing an $n$-leg flux ladder. Laser driving is used to couple the internal levels and to induce an effective magnetic flux through the ladder. We focus on the dense and strongly interacting regime, where in the absence of flux the system behaves as a Mott insulator with suppressed motional dynamics. At integer and fractional ratios of the laser Rabi frequency to the onsite interactions, the system exhibits resonant features in the dynamics. These resonances occur when interactions help overcome kinetic constraints upon the tunneling of atoms, thus enabling motion. Different resonances allow for the development of complex chiral current patterns. The resonances resemble the ones appearing in the longitudinal Hall resistance when the magnetic field is varied. We characterize the dynamics by studying the system's long-time relaxation behavior as a function of flux, number of internal levels $n$, and interaction strength. We observe a series of non-trivial pre-thermal plateaus caused by the emergence of resonant processes at successive orders in perturbation theory. We discuss protocols to observe the predicted phenomena under current experimental conditions.

  We show theoretically that it is possible to transfer vibrational excitation between trapped neutral atoms over a micrometer apart. We find that there is a "sweet spot" where the transfer of a vibrational excitation is nearly perfect and fast compared to the Rydberg lifetime.

  We show that optical spectroscopy can experimentally identify phase-trapped and phase-delocalized dynamical regimes of condensation. In the weak-bias regime, the trapped dynamics of the order parameter's phase lead to an in-gap absorption line at a frequency almost independent of the bias voltage. Close to the transition between the trapped and freely oscillating states, we find a strong response upon application of a weak electric probe field.

  We develop a self-consistent Born approximation for exciton--environment interactions. We find it to be good (poor) at describing energy transfer modulated by an underdamped vibration resonant (off-resonant) with the exciton energy gap. It reasonably describes exciton dynamics in the seven-site model of the Fenna--Matthews--Olson complex.

  We study the non-equilibrium dynamics of a one-dimensional Bose gas with long-range interactions that decay as $(frac1ralpha)$ $(0.5 alpha 4.0$) We find that relaxation is achieved through a complex intermediate dynamics demonstrated by violent fragmentation and chaotic delocalization. Our study showcases the complex relaxation behavior of tunable long-range interacting systems that could be engineered in state-of-the-art experiments.

  We investigate within a spin-boson model the influence of a super-Ohmic environment on the dynamics of a quantum two-state system. Super-Ohmic purely dephasing fluctuations strongly suppress the amplitude of coherent dynamics at very short times. The according phase separation line shows also a non-monotonous behaviour, very similar to the pseudo-coherent dynamics.

  We consider the cooperative spontaneous emission of a system of two identical atoms, interacting with the electromagnetic field in the vacuum state. Using time-dependent theory, we investigate the spectrum of the radiation emitted by the two-atom system. We show that it is modulated in time, and that the presence of the oscillating mirror can enhance or inhibit the decay rate.
