Laser-assisted binding of ultracold polar molecules with Rydberg atoms in the van der Waals regime
Vanessa Olaya, Jesús Pérez-Ríos, Felipe Herrera
We study ultracold long-range collisions of heteronuclear alkali-metal dimers with a reservoir gas of alkali-metal Rydberg atoms in a two-photon laser excitation scheme. In a low d…
The Shape of the Electric Dipole Function Determines the Sub-Picosecond Dynamics of Anharmonic Vibrational Polaritons
Johan F. Triana, Federico J. Hernández, Felipe Herrera
We develop a fully quantum mechanical methodology to describe the static properties and the dynamics of a single anharmonic vibrational mode interacting with a quantized infrared c…
coefficients for interacting Rydberg atoms and alkali-metal dimers
Vanessa Olaya, Jesús Pérez-Ríos, Felipe Herrera
We study the van der Waals interaction between Rydberg alkali-metal atoms with fine structure (; ) and heteronuclear alkali-metal dimers in the ground rovibrationa…
Molecular polaritons for controlling chemistry with quantum optics
Felipe Herrera, Jeffrey Owrutsky
This is a tutorial-style introduction to the field of molecular polaritons. We describe the basic physical principles and consequences of strong light-matter coupling common to mol…
Multi-level quantum Rabi model for anharmonic vibrational polaritons
Federico Hernández, Felipe Herrera
We propose a cavity QED approach to describe light-matter interaction between an individual anharmonic molecular vibration and an infrared cavity field. Starting from a generic Mor…
An Instrument-Free Demonstration of Quantum Key Distribution for High-School Students
Maria Jose Carreño, Jonathan Sepúlveda, Silvia Tecpan +2
It has become increasingly common for high-school students to see media reports on the importance of quantum mechanics in the development of next-generation industries such as drug…
