- Abstract summary: We study the low-energy spectrum and polarisation of the dipole moments of two static polar molecules under the influence of an external dc electric field.
We model the molecules as quantum rigid rotors to take their rotational degrees of freedom into account.
Our results provide important insight into applications of cold molecules for quantum computation and molecular dipolar gases.

- Abstract: We examine the low-energy spectrum and polarisation of the dipole moments of
two static polar molecules under the influence of an external dc electric field
and their anisotropic dipole-dipole interaction. We model the molecules as
quantum rigid rotors to take their rotational degrees of freedom into account,
and consider a selection of linear, symmetric and asymmetric top molecules. We
provide a comprehensive examination of the energy spectra and polarisation of
the dipoles for varying inter-molecular separation and direction of the
electric field, and find that the properties of the molecules depend strongly
on the field's direction at short separations, showing the importance of
accounting for molecular rotation. Our results provide important insight into
applications of cold molecules for quantum computation and molecular dipolar
gases.

We consider an ensemble of homonuclear diatomic molecules coupled to the two polarization directions of a Fabry-P'erot cavity.
We identify a coupling mechanism mediated simultaneously by the two perpendicular polarizations, and inducing polaritonic relaxation towards molecular rotations.
Our simulations indicate that the molecular rotational dynamics in gas-phase cavity-coupled systems can serve as a novel probe for non-radiative polaritonic decay towards the dark-states manifold.

We show that where molecules are in rotational states that differ by more than one quantum, they exhibit repulsive van der Waals interactions.
At temperatures below a millikelvin, this effect can reduce collisional loss by multiple orders of magnitude.
These repulsive interactions lead to applications in quantum simulation and impurity physics with ultracold polar molecules.

We show that an isotropic dipolar particle in the vicinity of a substrate made of nonreciprocal plasmonic materials can experience a lateral Casimir force and torque.
We connect the existence of the lateral force to the asymmetric dispersion of nonreciprocal surface polaritons and the existence of the lateral torque to the spin-momentum locking of such surface waves.
