• Abstract: Recently Rydberg atom-ion bound states have been observed using a high resolution ion microscope (Nature 605, 453 (2022)) and the corresponding vibrational dynamics has been spectroscopically analyzed. The atom-ion bond is created by an avoided crossing, which involves a flipping molecular dipole. Motivated by the discovery of this binding mechanism we address here the question whether a similar behavior can also occur for ground state diatomic molecules. Specifically, we investigate the vibrational wave packet dynamics within the $^1\Sigma^+_g$ electronic ground-state of carbon monoxide (CO), which shows a zero crossing of its dipole moment function close to its equilibrium. Via time-evolution of coherent states we demonstrate that indeed a flipping dipole is obtained and its dynamics can be controlled to some extent. Varying the coherent state parameter we explore different regions of the vibrational excitation spectrum thereby tuning the time scales of the rapid oscillatory motion of the relevant observables, their decay and revivals as well as the transition to a regime of irregular dynamics.

  We show that introduction of harmonic and spin-dependent linear potentials sufficiently validates fTWA for longer times. In particular, we focus on a finite two-dimensional system and show that at intermediate linear potential strength, the addition of a harmonic potential and spin dependence of the tilt, results in subdiffusive dynamics.

  We experimentally investigate individual spin dynamics in a two-dimensional ensemble of electron spins on the surface of a diamond crystal. We show that this anomalously slow relaxation rate is due to the presence of strong dynamical disorder. Our work paves the way towards microscopic study and control of quantum thermalization in strongly interacting disordered spin ensembles.

  We report on an emergent mechanism for pumping in a quantum gas coupled to an optical resonator. Due to dissipation, the cavity field evolves between its two quadratures, each corresponding to a different centrosymmetric crystal configuration. This self-oscillation results in a time-periodic potential analogous to that describing the transport of electrons in topological tight-binding models.

  We propose applying time-dependent photo-emission spectroscopy, an established tool in solid state systems, in cold atom quantum simulators. We show in exact diagonalization simulations of the one-dimensional $t-J$ model that the spinons start to populate previously unoccupied states in an effective band structure. The dependence of the spectral function on the time after the pump pulse reveals collective interactions among spinons.

  We consider the cooperative spontaneous emission of a system of two identical atoms, interacting with the electromagnetic field in the vacuum state. Using time-dependent theory, we investigate the spectrum of the radiation emitted by the two-atom system. We show that it is modulated in time, and that the presence of the oscillating mirror can enhance or inhibit the decay rate.
