• Abstract: We investigate the rotational properties of a two-component, two-dimensional self-bound quantum droplet, which is confined in a harmonic potential and compare them with the well-known problem of a single-component atomic gas with contact interactions. For a fixed value of the trap frequency, choosing some representative values of the atom number, we determine the lowest-energy state, as the angular momentum increases. For a sufficiently small number of atoms, the angular momentum is carried via center-of-mass excitation. For larger values, when the angular momentum is sufficiently small, we observe vortex excitation instead. Depending on the actual atom number, one or more vortices enter the droplet. Beyond some critical value of the angular momentum, however, the droplet does not accommodate more vortices and the additional angular momentum is carried via center-of-mass excitation in a "mixed" state. Finally, the excitation spectrum is also briefly discussed.

• Hyperfine-to-rotational energy transfer in ultracold atom-molecule collisions [0.0]
  Energy transfer between different mechanical degrees of freedom in atom-molecule collisions has been widely studied and largely understood. Here, we directly observed the energy transfer from atomic hyperfine to molecular rotation in the $87$Rb. The observations confirm that spin is coupled to mechanical rotation at short range and establish a benchmark for future theoretical studies.

• The strongly driven Fermi polaron [49.81410781350196]
  Quasiparticles are emergent excitations of matter that underlie much of our understanding of quantum many-body systems. We take advantage of the clean setting of homogeneous quantum gases and fast radio-frequency control to manipulate Fermi polarons. We measure the decay rate and the quasiparticle residue of the driven polaron from the Rabi oscillations between the two internal states.

We predict a novel kind of bound quantum state in the simplest one-dimensional setup of two interacting particles in a box. Such states could be realized in the waveguide quantum electrodynamics platform.

We demonstrate optical nuclear spin polarization and rapid quantum control of nuclear spins in a diamond physically rotating at $1,$kHz, faster than the nuclear spin coherence time. Our work liberates a previously inaccessible degree of freedom of the NV nuclear spin, unlocking new approaches to quantum control and rotation sensing.

• Massive and massless two-dimensional Dirac particles in electric quantum dots [0.0]
  We investigate the confining properties of charged particles of a Dirac material in the plane subject to an electrostatic potential well. To have a global picture of confinement, both bound and resonance states are considered. We show that although the intensity of the resonances for massive particles is not significantly influenced by angular momenta, on the contrary, for massless particles they are quite sensitive to angular momenta.

  We show that the Zitterbewegung effect manifests itself as a series of quantum beats of the particle density in the long-time limit. We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront. The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
