Exploring Long Range Dipolar Interactions: From Collective Dipolar Spin Dynamics to Light-Mediated Interactions

Explore the dynamics of dipolar quantum systems for quantum sensing, simulation, and discovery in this comprehensive lecture. Delve into theoretical proposals using dipolar molecules confined in two dimensions as a platform for generating entangled states useful in quantum metrology and field sensing. Examine the dynamics of dipolar quantum gases through the lens of a long-range highly-collective spin model in mode-space, understanding how this approach overcomes challenges inherent to bulk systems. Investigate recent experimental work on preparing and probing molecules in layer geometries, as well as theoretical insights into spin dynamics resulting from dipolar exchange. Learn about the interplay between spin dynamics and motional dynamics in the presence of electric field gradients. Finally, analyze the complex interactions between light-mediated dipolar interactions, atomic motion, and quantum statistics in the context of observing Pauli-blocking enhanced lifetimes of optically excited states in a 2D Fermi gas.
