• Authors: Wei Liu, Jingqi Chen and Wenjie Dou
• Abstract summary: We present a non-perturbative theory that describes how light regulates chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) The research results indicate that 1) light can have opposite effects on the CISS, 2) the difference in CISS is caused by the steady states of nuclei coupled to spin electrons and 3) this steady state differences are caused by the different light-induced Lorentz forces felt by spin-up and spin-down electrons.

• Abstract: We present a non-perturbative theory that describes how light regulates chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) from the perspective of strong light-matter interactions. The research results indicate that 1) light can have opposite effects on the CISS, 2) the difference in CISS is caused by the steady states of nuclei coupled to spin electrons and 3) this steady state differences are caused by the different light-induced Lorentz forces felt by spin-up and spin-down electrons. The fundamental reason for these results is the impact of light on spin-orbital coupling (SOC), which is a complex process. This theoretical framework is verified by the calculations of Floquet SOC non-adiabatic nuclear dynamics.

  Conical intersections are crossing points or lines between two or more adiabatic electronic potential energy surfaces. We predict significant or measurable non-adiabatic effects in an ultracold atom-ion charge-exchange reaction. In the laser frequency window, where conical interactions are present, the difference in rate coefficients can be as large as $10-9$ cm$3$/s.

  We report on a strategy to boost the spin injection rate by exploiting electrons that can be rapidly polarized. We demonstrate this in a model system of Nitrogen Vacancy center electrons injecting polarization into a bath of 13C nuclei in diamond. Through a spin-ratchet polarization transfer mechanism, we show boosts in spin injection rates by over two orders of magnitude.

• Anisotropic electron-nuclear interactions in a rotating quantum spin bath [55.41644538483948]
  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.

  We report the existence of a sizeable quantum tunnelling splitting between the two lowest electronic spin levels of mononuclear Ni complexes. The level anti-crossing, or magnetic clock transition, associated with this gap has been directly monitored by heat capacity experiments. The comparison of these results with those obtained for a Co derivative, for which tunnelling is forbidden by symmetry, shows that the clock transition leads to an effective suppression of intermolecular spin-spin interactions.
