• Abstract summary: Two-dimensional (2D) atomically flat materials, such as graphene and transition-metal dichalcogenides, exhibit unconventional Dirac electronic spectra. We propose to effectively engineer their interactions with cold atoms in microgravity, leading to a synergy between complex electronic and atomic collective quantum phases and phenomena.

• Abstract: Novel two-dimensional (2D) atomically flat materials, such as graphene and transition-metal dichalcogenides, exhibit unconventional Dirac electronic spectra. We propose to effectively engineer their interactions with cold atoms in microgravity, leading to a synergy between complex electronic and atomic collective quantum phases and phenomena. Dirac materials are susceptible to manipulation and quantum engineering via changes in their electronic properties by application of strain, doping with carriers, adjustment of their dielectric environment, etc. Consequently the interaction of atoms with such materials, namely the van der Waals / Casimir-Polder interaction, can be effectively manipulated, leading to the potential observation of physical effects such as Quantum Reflection off atomically thin materials and confined Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) frequency shifts.

• Coulomb interaction-driven entanglement of electrons on helium [0.0]
  We theoretically investigate the generation of emphmotional entanglement between two electrons via their unscreened Coulomb interaction. We compute the motional energy spectra of the electrons, as well as their entanglement, by diagonalizing the model Hamiltonian with respect to a single-particle Hartree product basis. In particular, the theoretical tools developed here can be used for fine tuning and optimization of control parameters in future experiments with electrons trapped above the surface of superfluid helium or solid neon.

  2D materials-based nanophotonics has been growing at a rapid pace, triggered by the ability to design nanophotonic systems with in situ control. A wide palette of polaritonic classes have been identified, comprising ultra confined optical fields, even approaching characteristic length scales of a single atom. These advances have been a real boost for the emerging field of quantum nanophotonics, where the quantum mechanical nature of the electrons and-or polaritons and their interactions become relevant.

• Entangled Electrons Drive a non-Superexchange Mechanism in a Cobalt Quinoid Dimer Complex [0.0]
  Superexchange between unpaired electrons on two or more metal centers is well-known in organometallic chemistry. We show that such interactions may in fact occur by a more direct mechanism than superexchange based on direct quantum entanglement of the two metal centers. The result draws novel connections between inorganic mechanisms and quantum entanglement, thereby opening new possibilities for the design of strongly correlated organometallic compounds.
