• Abstract: We study the impact of an environment on the electromagnetic responses of a molecule in the presence of a dielectric medium. By applying the dipole-dipole coupling between the molecule's and the environment's degrees of freedom, we can reduce the complex system into its components and predict excitation lifetimes of single and few molecules attached to a dielectric surface by knowing the entire quantum-mechanical properties of the molecules, such as transition energies and dipole moments. The derived theory allows for the description of superradiance between two molecules depending on the geometric arrangement between both concerning their separation and orientation with respect to each other. We analyse the possibility of superradiance between two molecules bound to a dielectric sphere and determine a change of the relevant length scale where the usually considered wavelength in free space is replaced with the binding distance, drastically reducing the length scales at which collective effects can take place.

  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 model the molecules as quantum rigid rotors to take their rotational degrees of freedom into account. We find that the properties of the molecules depend strongly on the field's direction at short separations. The latter provides insight into the possible effects of accounting for rotational degrees of freedom in molecular dipolar gases.

  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.

  Inelastic losses in molecular collisions have greatly hampered the engineering of low-entropy molecular systems. Here, we use an external electric field along with optical lattice confinement to create a two-dimensional (2D) Fermi gas of spin-polarized potassium-rubidium (KRb) polar molecules. Direct thermalization among the molecules in the trap leads to efficient dipolar cooling, yielding a rapid increase in phase-space density.

E-field sensitivities reported so far are rather weak, prompting the question of how to design molecules with stronger spin-electric couplings.
