Combining them with strong, long-range dipolar interactions provides highly flexible control schemes promising even more exotic quantum phases. Recently, microwave shielding gave access to spin-polarized degenerate samples of dipolar fermionic molecules, where tunable p-wave interactions were enabled by field-linked resonances available only by compromising the shielding (due to experimental limitations). Here, we study the scattering properties of a fermionic dipolar spin mixture and show that a universal s-wave resonance is readily accessible without compromising the shielding. We develop a universal description of the tunable s-wave interaction and weakly bound tetratomic states based on the microwave-field parameters. The s-wave resonance paves the way to stable, controllable and strongly-interacting dipolar spin mixtures of deeply degenerate fermions and supports favorable conditions to reach this regime via evaporative cooling."}],"intvolume":"         9","doi":"10.1038/s42005-026-02578-8","date_created":"2026-06-21T22:02:58Z","publication":"Communications Physics","corr_author":"1","acknowledgement":"J.-L.Li thanks Gaoren Wang for valuable discussions on the absorbing boundary condition.

We demonstrate laser cooling its motion from room temperature to 240 microkelvins, surpassing by over 20-fold the coldest motions attained for oscillators ranging from micrograms to kilograms.

In this work, we propose a two-terminal cold-atom simulator to study that interaction. The proposed quantum simulator consists of strongly interacting atoms that occupy two temperature reservoirs connected by a one-dimensional link. First, we argue that the dynamics in the link can be described using an inhomogeneous Heisenberg spin chain whose couplings are defined by the local temperature. Second, we show the existence of a spin current in a system with a temperature difference by studying the dynamics that follows the spin-flip of an atom in the link. A temperature gradient accelerates the impurity in one direction more than in the other, leading to an overall spin current similar to the spin Seebeck effect."}],"user_id":"ba8df636-2132-11f1-aed0-ed93e2281fdd"},{"department":[{"_id":"ScWa"}],"publication_identifier":{"eissn":["2399-3650"]},"citation":{"ieee":"Y.

Here, we demonstrate experimentally that precessing magnetic fields induce metachronal waves on the periphery of these assemblies, similar to the ones observed in ciliates and some arthropods. The outermost layer of particles behaves like an array of cilia or legs whose sequential movement causes a net and controllable locomotion. This bioinspired many-particle swimming strategy is effective even at low Reynolds number, using only spatially uniform fields to generate the waves.","lang":"eng"}],"intvolume":"         3","user_id":"ba8df636-2132-11f1-aed0-ed93e2281fdd","ddc":["530"],"quality_controlled":"1","volume":3,"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"has_accepted_license":"1","date_created":"2020-06-29T07:59:35Z","publication":"Communications Physics","doi":"10.1038/s42005-020-0380-9","file":[{"content_type":"application/pdf","file_id":"8045","date_created":"2020-06-29T13:21:24Z","checksum":"ed984f7a393f19140b5279a54a3336ad","relation":"main_file","creator":"cziletti","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:48:08Z","access_level":"open_access","file_size":1907821,"file_name":"2020_CommunicationsPhysics_Collard.pdf"}],"year":"2020","day":"19","ec_funded":1,"status":"public"}]
