• Abstract: By simulating the real-time multielectron wavefunction with the multi-configurational time-dependent Hartree-Fock (MCTDHF) approach, we conduct an \textit{ab initio} study of the single-photon ionization process of a body-fixed water molecule ($\mathrm{H_2O}$) driven by attosecond pulses. To this end, we present a full-dimensional implementation of the MCTDHF method based on one-center expansions, allowing for the simulation of arbitrarily polarized lasers and multi-center polyatomic potentials. With a rigorous definition of the time-dependent hole state (TDHS) using the time-domain generalization of extended Koopmans' theorem (TD-EKT), we derive the reduced ion density matrix within the MCTDHF framework, which inherently encodes the total and channel-resolved photoionization cross sections of $\mathrm{H_2O}$. The cross sections obtained are benchmarked against existing experimental and theoretical results, validating the TDHS formalism. Furthermore, by adjusting the phase delay and intensity ratio of a pair of orthogonally polarized attosecond pulses, we explore the ultrafast control of attosecond coherence between electronic states of $\mathrm{H_2O^+}$.

  We consider the two-dimensional quantum Ising model, in absence of disorder, subject to periodic imperfect global spin flips. We show by a combination of exact diagonalization and tensor-network methods that the system can sustain a spontaneously broken discrete time-translation symmetry. We observe a non-perturbative change in the decay rate of the order parameter, which is related to the long-lived stability of the magnetic domains in 2D.

• Bosonic pair production and squeezing for optical phase measurements in long-lived dipoles coupled to a cavity [0.0]
  Entanglement between atoms, generated by the exchange of virtual photons through a common cavity mode, grows exponentially fast. We propose to exploit this for quantum-enhanced sensing of an optical phase (common and differential between two ensembles) Our proposal can open unique opportunities for the observation of continuous variable entanglement in atomic systems and associated applications in next-generation optical atomic clocks.
