• Abstract: Tachyons are hypothetical particles that propagate faster than light, yet they have never been observed in nature or in the laboratory. In this work, we introduce the hydrogen molecule ion as an analogue for the dynamics of a spinless test particle interacting with the gravitational field generated by a tachyon. The tachyonic spacetime is modeled using an AII metric, and the problem is analyzed through the Klein-Gordon equation for a scalar field in this background. We compute the quasinormal modes and the Hawking radiation spectrum associated with the system. By introducing an external potential, we demonstrate that both the radial and angular components of the test particles wave function can be effectively reproduced by the electron dynamics in the hydrogen molecule ion, thus proposing a molecular analogue model for an extreme gravitational system.

• Single-molecule motion control [0.0]
  We present a toy model for controlling single-molecule diffusion by harnessing forces from elementary surface electrostatic charges within a lattice structure. We find that surface charge density critically influences diffusion, exhibiting linear scaling akin to Coulombic forces. The molecular trajectories predicted by our model bear resemblance to planetary motion, particularly in their gravity-assisted acceleration-like behaviour.

• 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 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 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.
