• Title: Rotational properties of two interacting cold polar molecules: linear, symmetric, and asymmetric tops
• Authors: Felipe Isaule, Robert Bennett, Jörg B. Götte,
• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: We examine the potential-energy curves and polarization 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 curves and polarization 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. The latter provides insight into the possible effects of accounting for rotational degrees of freedom in molecular dipolar gases.

• Collective rovibronic dynamics of a diatomic gas coupled by cavity [0.0]
  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.

• Rotational-state dependence of interactions between polar molecules [0.0]
  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.

  We employ quantum gas microscopy to position and resolve atoms in Rydberg macrodimer states. We show first photoassociation studies for different molecular symmetries in which the molecular orientation relative to an applied magnetic field is fully controlled. We additionally observe an orientation-dependent Zeeman shift and reveal a significant influence on it caused by the hyperfine interaction of the macrodimer state.

  Electrical control of spins at the nanoscale offers architectural advantages in spintronics.

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