• Abstract summary: The formation of angulon, stemming from the rotor (molecule or impurity) rotating in the quantum many-body field, adds a new member in the quasiparticle's family. Here, we develop the all-coupling theory of the angulon by introducing an unitary transformation. The strength of molecule-helium coupling and the effective radius of the solvation shell corotating along with the molecular rotor could be estimated.

• Abstract: The formation of angulon, stemming from the rotor (molecule or impurity) rotating in the quantum many-body field, adds a new member in the quasiparticle's family and has aroused intensively interests in multiple research fields. However, the analysis of the coupling strength between the rotor and its hosting environment remains a challenging task both in theory and experiment. Here, we develop the all-coupling theory of the angulon by introducing an unitary transformation, where the renormalization of the rotational constants for different molecules in the helium nanodroplets are reproduced, getting excellent agreement with the collected experimental data during the past decades. Moreover, the strength of molecule-helium coupling and the effective radius of the solvation shell corotating along with the molecular rotor could be estimated qualitatively. This model not only provides the significant enlightenment for analyzing the rotational spectroscopy of molecules in the phononic environment, but also provides a new method to study the transfer of the phonon angular momentum in angulon frame.

  The 'l-Doubling' phenomenon emanates from the coupling between molecular rotations and perpendicular vibrations (bending modes) in polyatomic molecules. Here we explore and unveil the ramifications of 'l-Doubling' to the coherent rotational dynamics of triatomic molecules at ambient temperatures and above. The observed 'l-Doubling' dynamics may be wrongly considered as collisional decay throughout the first few hundreds of picoseconds past excitation.

We reveal the quasiparticle properties, such as energies, quasiparticle weights and spectral functions, and show that our ansatz yields a persistent decrease in the impurity's rotational constant due to many-body dressing.

The dependence of the spectral function on the time after the pump pulse reveals collective interactions among spinons.

  Spin-bath interactions are strongly anisotropic, and rapid physical rotation has long been used in solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance. We show that the interaction between electron spins of nitrogen-vacancy centers and a bath of $13$C nuclear spins introduces decoherence into the system. Our findings offer new insights into the use of physical rotation for quantum control with implications for quantum systems having motional and rotational degrees of freedom that are not fixed.
