• Abstract: We study anisotropic thermalization in dilute gases of microwave shielded polar molecular fermions. For collision energies above the threshold regime, we find that thermalization is suppressed due to a strong preference for forward scattering and a reduction in total cross section with energy, significantly reducing the efficiency of evaporative cooling. We perform close-coupling calculations on the effective potential energy surface derived by Deng et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 130, 183001 (2023)], to obtain accurate 2-body elastic differential cross sections across a range of collision energies. We use Gaussian process regression to obtain a global representation of the differential cross section, over a wide range of collision angles and energies. The route to equilibrium is then analyzed with cross-dimensional rethermalization experiments, quantified by a measure of collisional efficiency toward achieving thermalization.

  We develop an alternative theoretical framework for the thermodynamic analysis of two-level systems. We observe the appearance of a new term of work, which represents the energy cost of rotating the Bloch vector in presence of the external field that defines the local Hamiltonian. In order to illustrate our findings we study, from both perspectives, matter-radiation interaction processes for two different systems.
