How dipolar interactions structure molecular droplets

Wiiliam Freitas, Panagiotis Giannakeas, Jan M. Rost

We investigate how dipolar interactions between microwave-shielded polar molecules structure the self-bound droplets formed under variation of the interaction strength. We identify…

Universal response of Rydberg manifolds to standing light waves from the microwave to the X-ray regime

Homar Rivera-Rodríguez, Matthew T. Eiles, Jan M. Rost

Standing light waves structure the electronic density of a Rydberg atom in a rich but surprisingly systematic fashion. We uncover these systematics, which are nearly universal acro…

Sensing coherent phonon dynamics in solids with delayed even harmonics

Jinbin Li, Ulf Saalmann, Hongchuan Du +1

High harmonics have emerged as a powerful ultrafast probe of phonon dynamics and electron-phonon interactions in solids, with most studies focusing on odd harmonics. Here, in a pum…

Rydberg states with a liquid core

Juan Carlos Acosta Matos, P. Giannakeas, Jan M. Rost

We develop a self-consistent approach that provides an explicit potential for a Rydberg electron whose ionic core consists of a polarizable medium, typically realized with superflu…

Transitional supersolidity in ion doped helium droplets

Juan Carlos Acosta Matos, Panos Giannakeas, Matteo Ciardi +2

He nanodroplets doped with an alkali ion feature a snowball of crystallized layers surrounded by superfluid helium. For large droplets, we predict that a transitional supersoli…

Quantum transport enabled by non-adiabatic transitions

Ajith Ramachandran, Alexander Eisfeld, Sebastian Wüster +1

Quantum transport of charge or energy in networks with discrete sites is central to diverse quantum technologies, from molecular electronics to light harvesting and quantum opto-me…
