We realized a quantum "charge" pump for a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in a novel bipartite magnetic lattice, whose bands are characterized by non-trivial topological invariants: the Zak phases. For each band, the Zak phase is determined by that band's

We show that n thermal fermionic alkaline-earth atoms in a flat-bottom trap allow one to robustly implement a spin model displaying two symmetries: the Sn symmetry that swaps atoms occupying different vibrational levels of the trap and the SU(N) symmetry

Generating and calibrating forces that are transferable across a range of state-points remains a challenging problem in coarse-grained (CG) molecular dynamics (MD). In this work, we present a Bayesian correction algorithm, inspired by ideas from
We explore the condensation of monovalent counter-ions on the molecular conformation of highly charged flexible polyelectrolytes for a range of molecular topologies (linear chains, stars, and unknotted and trefoil rings) by molecular dynamics simulations

The goal of the eighth industrial fluid properties simulation challenge was to test the ability of molecular simulation methods to predict the adsorption of organic adsorbates in activated carbon materials. In particular, the eighth challenge focused on

Multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock (MCDHF) calculations and relativistic configuration interaction (RCI) calculations are performed for states of the 3s23p2, 3s3p3 and 3s23p3d configurations in the Si-like ions Ti IX - Ge XIX, Sr XXV, Zr XXVII, Mo XXIX

We show that for complex and magnetic atoms chaotic scattering behavior emerges due to anisotropic inter- action potentials and finite Zeeman coupling. This generic behavior is studied in a collaborative effort for both ultracold dysprosium and erbium

The nature of quantum decoherence renders the observation of nonclassical features/properties in large systems increasingly difficult. Optical states are a good candidate to observe nonclassical features since 5 they are less susceptible to environmental

We show that two photons coupled to Rydberg states via electromagnetically induced transparency can interact via an effective Coulomb potential. This interaction gives rise to a continuum of two-body bound states. Within the continuum, metastable bound

The temperature dependence of the asymmetry between Stokes and anti-Stokes Raman scattering can be exploited for self-calibrating, optically-based thermometry. In the context of cavity optomechanics, we observe the cavity-enhanced scattering of light
