Emergence of a Luttinger Liquid Phase in an Array of Chiral Molecules
Muhammad Arsalan Ali Akbar, Bretislav Friedrich, Sabre Kais
We propose a robust platform for simulating chiral quantum magnetism using linear arrays of trapped asymmetric top molecules, specifically 1,2-propanediol ($\mathrm{C_{3}H_{8}O_{2}…
The Spectrum of He as a Proving Ground for Bohr's Model of the Atom: A Legacy of Williamina Fleming's Astrophysical Discovery
Maria McEachern, Bretislav Friedrich
In 1896, Edward Charles Pickering (1846-1919), Director of the Harvard College Observatory (HCO), reported in a trio of publications the observation of "peculiar spectra" of the so…
Mapping atomic trapping in an optical superlattice onto the libration of a planar rotor in electric fields
Marjan Mirahmadi, Bretislav Friedrich, Burkhard Schmidt +1
We show that two seemingly unrelated problems - the trapping of an atom in an optical superlattice (OSL) and the libration of a planar rigid rotor in combined electric and optical…
One hundred years ago Alfred Landé unriddled the Anomalous Zeeman Effect and presaged Electron Spin
Horst Schmidt-Böcking, Bretislav Friedrich
In order to commemorate Alfred Landé's unriddling of the anomalous Zeeman Effect a century ago, we reconstruct his seminal contribution to atomic physics in light of the atomic mod…
An Electro-Optical Trap for Polar Molecules
Bretislav Friedrich
A detailed treatment of an electro-optical trap for polar molecules, realized by embedding an optical trap within a uniform electrostatic field, is presented and the trap's propert…
Realization of Heisenberg models of spin systems with polar molecules in pendular states
Wenjing Yue, Qi Wei, Sabre Kais +2
We show that ultracold polar diatomic or linear molecules, oriented in an external electric field and mutually coupled by dipole-dipole interactions, can be used to realize the exa…
