Optical centrifuge as a probe of strong dissipative coupling between a molecular rotor and superfluid helium
Ian MacPhail-Bartley, Sören E. Mahr, Cameron E. Peters +7
A macroscopic manifestation of superfluidity is that objects moving through liquid helium experience negligible friction below the Landau critical velocity. How this frictionless m…
Collective rotational cat states of molecules in microwave cavities
Volker Karle, Florian Kluibenschedl, Mikhail Lemeshko +1
We show theoretically that an ensemble of polar molecules coupled to a microwave cavity supports hybrid rotational-photonic cat states. The cavity couples to a symmetric rotor in t…
Anomalous multi-gap topological phases in periodically driven quantum rotors
Volker Karle, Mikhail Lemeshko, Adrien Bouhon +2
We demonstrate that periodically driven quantum rotors provide a promising and broadly applicable platform to implement multi-gap topological phases, where groups of bands can acqu…
Area-law entangled eigenstates from nullspaces of local Hamiltonians
Volker Karle, Maksym Serbyn, Alexios A. Michailidis
Eigenstate thermalization in quantum many-body systems implies that eigenstates at high energy are similar to random vectors. Identifying systems where at least some eigenstates ar…
Classical dynamical localization
Italo Guarneri, Giulio Casati, Volker Karle
We consider classical models of the kicked rotor type, with piecewise linear kicking potentials designed so that momentum changes only by multiples of a given constant. Their dynam…
