• Title: Collective rovibronic dynamics of a diatomic gas coupled by cavity
• Authors: Niclas Krupp and Oriol Vendrell
• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: We consider an ensemble of homonuclear diatomic molecules coupled to the two polarization directions of a Fabry-P\'erot cavity via fully quantum simulations. Accompanied by analytical results, we identify a coupling mechanism mediated simultaneously by the two perpendicular polarizations, and inducing polaritonic relaxation towards molecular rotations. This mechanism is related to the concept of light-induced conical intersections (LICI). However, unlike LICIs, these non-adiabatic pathways are of collective nature, since they depend on the \emph{relative} intermolecular orientation of all electronic transition dipoles in the polarization plane. Notably, this rotational mechanism directly couples the bright upper and lower polaritonic states, and it stays in direct competition with the collective relaxation towards dark-states. 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.

  Photoexcited organic chromophores appended to molecular qubits can serve as a source of spin initialization or multi-level qudit generation for quantum information applications. Time-resolved electron paramagnetic resonance (TREPR) experiments carried out at both 85 K and room temperature reveal the formation of a long-lived spin-polarized quartet state. Exploiting this phenomenon affords the possibility of using photoinduced triplet states in porphyrins for quantum information as a resource to polarize and magnetically couple molecular electronic or nuclear spin qubits and qudits.

  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.

  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.
