Structure and Dynamics of Bose Polarons across the Mott-Insulator to Superfluid Transition

Ragheed Alhyder, Alessio Recati, Georg M. Bruun

A mobile impurity particle immersed in a quantum degenerate gas leads to the formation of a quasiparticle, which can serve as a sensor for its environment. Here, we develop a unifi…

First-principles theory of phonon renormalization from nonlinear electron-phonon interactions

Florian Kluibenschedl, Matthew Houtput, Jacques Tempere +3

Electron-phonon interactions renormalize phonon frequencies and lifetimes and are central to the dynamical properties of solids. While these effects are usually described within li…

Crossing the Rotational Sound Barrier in a Quantum Solvent

Baptiste Coquinot, Giacomo Bighin, Mikhail Lemeshko +1

Molecules embedded in superfluids provide an experimentally controllable platform for investigating impurity physics. Here, we investigate a driven molecule rotating in a superflui…

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…

Engineering SU()-Symmetric Hubbard Models with Microwave-Shielded Dipolar Molecules

Jing-Lun Li, Ragheed Alhyder, Andreas Schindewolf +3

Ultracold polar molecules provide strong, long-range interactions that microwave shielding makes tunable and nearly nuclear-spin independent, giving an emergent SU() symmetry. H…

Scale invariance of the polaron energy at the Mott-superfluid critical point

Matija Čufar, Ragheed Alhyder, C. J. Bradly +4

Continuous quantum phase transitions are characterized by an order parameter and correlation functions that are often challenging to access experimentally or in direct numerical si…

Supercurrents in Josephson junctions with chiral molecular potentials

Oleg Kuliashov, Alberto Cappellaro, Oded Millo +3

The influence of chiral molecular potentials on phase-coherent transport in superconducting Josephson junctions is investigated. Within a Bogoliubov--de Gennes tight-binding framew…

Kerr-enhanced amplification of three-wave mixing and emergent masing regimes

Ragheed Alhyder, Rishabh Sahu, Johannes M. Fink +2

Integrated optical microresonators exploiting either second-order () or third-order () nonlinearities have become key platforms for frequency conversion, low-nois…

Fluctuation-Induced Supersolidity at the Superfluid-Solid Interface

Baptiste Coquinot, Ragheed Alhyder, Alberto Cappellaro +1

Supersolidity, combining superfluid and crystalline orders, has been realized in dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates by tuning interatomic interactions. Here we show that supersolidi…

Phenomenological model of decaying Bose polarons

Ragheed Alhyder, Georg M. Bruun, Thomas Pohl +2

Cold atom experiments show that a mobile impurity particle immersed in a Bose-Einstein condensate forms a well-defined quasiparticle (Bose polaron) for weak to moderate impurity-bo…

Tunable Field-Linked -wave Interactions in Dipolar Fermi Mixtures

Jing-Lun Li, Georgios M. Koutentakis, Mateja Hrast +3

Spin mixtures of degenerate fermions are a cornerstone of quantum many-body physics, enabling superfluidity, polarons, and rich spin dynamics through -wave scattering resonances…

Lattice Bose polarons at strong coupling and quantum criticality

Ragheed Alhyder, Victor E. Colussi, Matija Čufar +3

We develop a new theoretical framework for exploring a mobile impurity interacting strongly with a highly correlated bath of bosons in the quantum critical regime of a Mott insulat…

Achiral dipoles on a ferromagnet can affect its magnetization direction

Ragheed Alhyder, Alberto Cappellaro, Mikhail Lemeshko +1

We demonstrate the possibility of a coupling between the magnetization direction of a ferromagnet and the tilting angle of adsorbed achiral molecules. To illustrate the mechanism o…
