Summary: We analyze the dynamics of one-dimensional quantum gases with strongly attractive contact interactions and find that attractive forces can effectively act as strongly repulsive ones. Our findings extend the theoretical results on the super-Tonks-Girardeau gas and have implications for the domain stability in a two-component Fermi gas. We also discuss the effects of finite-range interactions and analyze the universality of the presented results. Moreover, our conclusions support the existence of metastable quantum droplets in the regime of strongly attractive contact and attractive dipolar interactions.

Summary: We propose a mechanism for liquid formation in strongly correlated lattice systems by studying dipolar bosons in one-dimensional optical lattices as an example. We present a perturbative theory and validate it through simulations for the energetic and structural properties of the system's phases. We analyze the nonequilibrium properties and calculate the dynamic structure factor.

Summary: This study reveals that the Tan relation breaks down in the one-dimensional Bose gas with contact repulsion for a peculiar class of stationary states. These states, characterized by a rapidity distribution that decreases as 1/|p|^4, exist due to the infinite number of conserved quantities in the system. The rapidity tail in the momentum distribution adds to the usual Tan contact term, and is produced by atom losses leading to ghost singularities in the wave function.

Summary: In this study, the authors demonstrate the precise tuning of one-dimensional confined potential at a homojunction of two single-layer 1T-NbSe2 islands using an in situ manipulation technique. The potential is found to be structurally sensitive and shows a nonmonotonic function of their interspacing. The electronic properties also change from a correlated insulator to a generalized one-dimensional Wigner crystallization with increasing confinement.

Summary: We theoretically study the non-equilibrium dynamics of a two-dimensional uniform Bose superfluid after a sudden quantum change, from its short-term coherent dynamics to long-term thermalization. By using a quantum hydrodynamic description and a Keldysh field formalism, we derive quantum kinetic equations for the low-energy phononic excitations of the system and characterize their normal and anomalous momentum distributions. We apply this framework to the interaction change of a 2D Bose gas and investigate the subsequent dynamics of its quantum structure factor and coherence function, both of which have recently been measured experimentally. Our results indicate that, in two dimensions, an independent quasiparticle description quickly becomes inaccurate and should be questioned when dealing with non-equilibrium scenarios.

Summary: We experimentally verified our prior theoretical work by using matter-wave interference to measure the ultranarrow momentum width of an optically trapped Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in situ. The observed interference fringes exhibited slight deviations from our simplified theory. We found that the discrepancy was caused by the combined effects of the mean-field interaction and spatial density modulation of BEC.

Summary: This study demonstrates the presence of superfluidity in an ultracold 2D Fermi gas by observing no dissipation below a critical velocity v(c) when moving a periodic potential through the system. The researchers found a maximum in the crossover regime between bosonic and fermionic superfluidity as they measured v(c) as a function of interaction strength. The measurements enable systematic studies of the influence of reduced dimensionality on fermionic superfluidity.

Summary: In this study, the superradiant phase transitions of one-dimensional correlated Fermi gases in a transversely driven optical cavity were investigated using bosonization and renormalization group techniques. It was found that the superradiant phase transition can be mapped to the Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition of an all-to-all sine-Gordon model. Additionally, the nesting effect suggests that the superradiant phase transition can be triggered by an extremely small atom-cavity coupling strength for any nonattractive local interactions.

Summary: This study investigates the static and dynamical properties of one-dimensional quantum droplets under the influence of local potentials in the form of narrow wells and barriers. The dynamics of the droplets are described by the one-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation, including meanfield and beyond-mean-field terms. Stable solutions for localized states pinned to the well are found, and approximations for the well and the collision of the droplet with the barrier are developed. Simulations analyze the collisions of droplets with the wells and barriers, identifying outcomes such as fission and rebound effects.

Summary: Exploring the dynamics of inelastic and reactive collisions on the quantum level is a fundamental goal in quantum chemistry. Such collisions are of particular importance in connection with Rydberg atoms in dense environments since they may considerably influence both the lifetime and the quantum state of the scattered Rydberg atoms. The authors report on the study of state-changing collisions between Rydberg atoms and ground state atoms, finding that the outcome of such collisions is not limited to a single hydrogenic manifold, and observing a redistribution of population over a wide range of final states. They also find that even the decay to states with the same angular momentum quantum number as the initial state, but different principal quantum number is possible.

Summary: Three-dimensional spin models with random hopping disorder are relevant to a wide range of physical systems. In an experimental realization in a Rydberg system with dipole-dipole coupling, the authors showed signatures of a localization-delocalization transition. The study suggests that even small imperfections can significantly alter the transport properties of a system.

Summary: In this work, we study a multi-mode system of driven nonlinear optical resonator using an ultracold bosonic quantum gas. We measure the effective Liouvillian gap of the system and provide evidence for a first order dissipative phase transition. The multi-mode nature of the system allows us to identify a non-equilibrium condensation process.

Summary: We report the experimental realization of a Kapitza trap for ultracold atoms. This is achieved by using time-periodic attractive and repulsive Gaussian potentials, creating an effective trap with a time average potential of zero. The analysis includes the impact of experimental imperfections, stability of the trapped atomic cloud, and magnitude of the effective potential. The results show good agreement with the high-frequency expansion of the underlying system dynamics. This experimental approach opens up new opportunities to study Floquet systems of neutral atoms.

Summary: The dynamics of a comagnetometer based on an alkali-metal-noble-gas hybrid tri-spin system were studied. Results showed a linear increasing response of the comagnetometer signal under certain parameters satisfying an overdamping condition. The inherent dynamics of the hybrid tri-spin system impose an upper limit for the signal amplitude of the comagnetometer, with results consistent with current experimental data and providing guidance for future experiments.

Summary: The study focuses on the stability and attractor dynamics of an elongated Bose-Einstein condensate with dark or gray kink solitons in the presence of localized dissipation. It was found that there is a threshold value for the stabilization of the dark soliton, and above this threshold, attractor dynamics towards the dark soliton are observed. Additionally, the dark soliton was identified as the unique steady-state of the system for all initial conditions.
