Abstract summary: We report the experimental evidence of the modification of the position response function (PRF) of an ensemble of cold atoms in a magneto-optical trap.<n>We find that, in the underdamped regime of motion, the oscillation frequency of motion of the cold atoms changes as much as 30 $%$ depending on the effective inter-species light-assisted interaction strength.

Abstract: In the context of non-equilibrium statistical physics, the position response of a particle, coupled to a bath, subjected to an external force is a topic of broad interest. A topic of further interest is two distinguishable sets of interacting particles in contact with two different baths. Here, we report the experimental evidence of the modification of the position response function (PRF) of an ensemble of cold atoms in a magneto-optical trap when it is placed alongside a dilute cloud of cold atoms of a different species. Our experiment consists of a mass-imbalanced cold atomic mixture of Potassium and Sodium atoms. We focus on the position response of Potassium atoms when subjected to a sudden displacement in the presence of a cold Sodium atomic cloud. Notably, we find that, in the underdamped regime of motion, the oscillation frequency of motion of the cold atoms changes as much as 30 $\%$ depending on the effective inter-species light-assisted interaction strength. On the other hand, in the overdamped regime, there is a reduction, as high as 10.5 $\%$ in the damping coefficient, depending on the interaction strength. Using a quantum Langevin approach, we develop a framework that aligns well with experimental results, with potential applications in mass and charge transport studies under varied physical conditions simulated in cold atoms.

Thermal masses and trapped-ion quantum spin models: a self-consistent approach to Yukawa-type interactions in the $λ\!φ^4$ model [44.99833362998488]
A quantum simulation of magnetism in trapped-ion systems makes use of the crystal vibrations to mediate pairwise interactions between spins. These interactions can be accounted for by a long-wavelength relativistic theory, where the phonons are described by a coarse-grained Klein-Gordon field. We show that thermal effects, which can be controlled by laser cooling, can unveil this flow through the appearance of thermal masses in interacting QFTs.

We investigate the ground-state properties of single-component Fermi gases with short-range repulsive interactions. A comparison against recently derived second-order perturbative results shows good agreement in a broad range of interaction strength. We find remarkable agreement with a recently derived fourth-order expansion that includes $p$-wave contributions.

We experimentally investigate individual spin dynamics in a two-dimensional ensemble of electron spins on the surface of a diamond crystal.

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 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.

The presence of strong interactions in a many-body quantum system can lead to a variety of exotic effects. We show that even in a relatively simple setup the competition of length scales gives rise to a highly correlated state.

We study the spin diffusion dynamics of 13C in diamond, which we dynamically polarize at room temperature via optical spin pumping of engineered color centers. We find good thermal contact throughout the nuclear spin bath, virtually independent of the hyperfine coupling strength. Our results open intriguing opportunities to study the onset of thermalization in a system by controlling the internal interactions within the bath.
